Temperatures will rise to 16C this afternoon in the brighter weather.

Through the evening and night skies will remain well broken with clear spells and patchy cloud producing a few showers here and there. It will stay breezy tonight with temperatures no lower than 9-10C.

On Thursday it will be  brighter day across the area with just a few scattered showers. It will feel relatively mild in a lighter WNW wind backing SW or South again by evening as cloud increases again from the SW.

Friday will become cloudy, wet and windy but mild as rain spreads NE across all parts of the region through the day.

On Saturday and Sunday the weather will continue mild and rather breezy with heavy showers or longer spells of rain at times but with some drier and brighter intervals as well.

[ARTDEMOLE]

7.2mm rainfall so far today. Cloud base 60ft.Humidity 99%. Temperature 10.3. Inside 20.4c. Just switched central heating up a tad.

[Mapantz]

Currently 14C but the rain is coming to a drizzly close here, 15.2mm has fallen though! It should get up to 16 or perhaps 17C when the cloud clears and the sunshine breaks through.  

[Lyn-M]

Blue skies and sunshine now, very clear back edge to the rain.

[Nick L]

Could end up being a pleasant end to the day for western areas, meanwhile though - what a miserable day!

[Snowkissed]

After a morning of darkness and heavy rain - its turned out nice again Blue sky and sunshine.

[Andy Bown]

The rainfall should clear through most of the region by lunchtime so it might be possible for an afternoons work, in sunny but breezy skies. (If your job allows that of course).Moderate rainfall here now in a cool breeze. Rainband already clearing Cornwall though.

A proper day of 2 halves! And I have been out to do a few hours work, drove to my destination as the rain was clearing! My reticence was that rain bands can be slow to clear through, so I expected the forecast midday clearance to become more like 15.00!

[ARTDEMOLE]

Blowy....Some cloud...14.4c...

NEXT UPDATE AT 08:00 HRS ON THURSDAY OCTOBER 17TH 2013

[AWD]

Interesting cluster of showers out in the Atlantic near Ireland heading east towards the Bristol Channel.

Some strikes recorded within the mass. Wonder if they will continue overnight towards the South West.

[festivalking]

Hello all hoping someone could point me in the direction of a half decent weather station. I purchased a simple weather station (inside/outside temps / pressure / humidity) about 4 years ago to coincide with the return of proper winters but now I feel its time to go a bit further up the scale. Anyone recommend a weather station for around £120 capable of recording wind speed and rain amounts as well as the a fore mentioned? 

 

Cheers all

[kernowman]

Was very warm today in Camborne for the time of year, just checking in for the Winter season, hope it'll be a lot better than the last couple of years in the far South West, we deserve it.

[Dorsetbred]

It does feel "toasty" for October, and very pleasant it is too, mind you early suggestions for the weekend does mean we will be able to make the best of this warm weather

I forgot about the probability of a Bristol Channel streamer today, shows how few unsettled periods we have had this last 3 or 4 months!

 

Anyway, one set up this morning from 08.30 and has just about died off now. I was working in Trowbridge and catching showery drizzle at the edge while it was clearly raining heavily towards Bradford On Avon. Throughout the morning the sky was mostly clear to the South and a slight shift in wind direction soon after 11.00 pushed the shower line Northwards and gave arm sun in Trowbridge.

 

Fascinating to observe and only a narrow strip of our region affected.

[sunsetter]

Lovely sunny afternoon here with current temp 17.1C and only a light breeze. Pressure 1014.1mb and rising slowly

[ARTDEMOLE]

Sunny here. 15.8c. Had 20.6 c  at  13:13.

Most of the rain will be light and intermittent but some heavier bursts are possible in the West of the County with a moderate to fresh Southerly wind. Things may become drier and clearer towards the end of the day.

 

On Saturday and Sunday the weather will continue mild and rather breezy with heavy showers in places or even longer spells of rain at times but with some drier and brighter intervals as well, these most likely on Sunday.

 

Monday will probably become cloudy and windy through the day with rain spreading NE across the area in maintained mild conditions.

 

On Tuesday current thinking is that it will be a very windy and showery day with some heavy showers driven on by a near gale SW wind. A few brighter intervals are possible too.
