Exeter Racecourse (Devon) weather

Headline:

Turning unsettled again overnight with further showers into Saturday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Clear spells initially, then turning increasingly cloudy from the south this evening as a heavy band of showers pushes northwards overnight, bringing prolonged downpours and strong winds to southern coastlines. Frost-free. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Saturday:

An unsettled start as further blustery showers feed in from the south through much of the day. These clearing northeastwards later, allowing some brighter and drier spells. Winds easing. Maximum temperature 11 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Sunday brings a mix of showers and sunny spells, before turning unsettled from the west again to start the new week, with further bands of heavy rain. Breezy at times.

Predominantly cyclonic patterns are expected to dominate the UK. The early part of this period could see colder conditions becoming established more widely for a time, bringing with it the likelihood of some snow. Milder and wetter weather may however hang on in the far south. By the end of this period, the track of Atlantic depressions may shift a little further north than during the last few weeks. This will maintain broadly unsettled weather, with further spells of rain and perhaps strong winds at times. Many parts may become somewhat milder, given more of a westerly influence, though there remains the chance that colder conditions could linger towards the northeast.

Broadly changeable conditions are expected across the UK during this period. Low pressure systems will probably dominate, meaning showers or longer spells of rain, heavy at times, for much of the UK, and still the chance of some hill snow in the north. Some drier interludes are likely, though it must be said, flooding impacts remain possible given recent very wet weather. Windy conditions look probable from time to time. Temperatures probably close to or a little above average overall, with a reduced chance, compared to earlier thinking, of a late season prolonged cold spell.
