Ford (Plymouth) weather

Headline:

A pleasant weekend after early rain clears.

Today:

Patchy rain spreading across Cornwall and possibly Devon to begin. Turning dry in the afternoon for all but with cloud making any sunshine rather hazy. Mild for early March, though breezy. Maximum temperature 15 °C.

Tonight:

Staying dry throughout this evening and overnight but also breezy. Cloud thinning and breaking, with clearer spells developing towards dawn. Cool in the countryside but not too chilly overall. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

Sunday:

Pleasant overall with bright or sunny spells, most prolonged in the east. Breezy in the west to begin; winds easing into the afternoon. Rain perhaps fringing the far southwest later. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Turning colder next week with the return of overnight frosts. Thickening cloud and rain at times, potentially wintry over the hills, but pockets of sunshine breaking through as well.

High pressure likely to build across the UK from the northwest during the early part of this period. This will bring northeasterly winds during the middle of next week, with a mixture of sunny spells and some showers. The showers are likely to be most frequent in the north and east with some snow over hills. Temperatures are expected to be below normal. Through the end of the week and the following weekend, fine and dry conditions are likely for many areas, although a few showers are likely along coasts. Temperatures will likely be below normal. Into the week after, conditions will probably become milder and more changeable with some periods of rain and strong winds.

Confidence is low, but through the remainder of March changeable weather patterns are most likely. This means periods of unsettled, wet and windy weather interspersed with some drier and brighter spells. Into early April, there may be a transition to drier and more settled weather. Temperatures will probably be above average overall.
