Escot (Devon) weather

Headline:

Warmer but also breezier on Thursday with plenty of sunshine.

This Evening and Tonight:

Generally dry this evening with lengthy clear periods developing overnight. Patchy mist and fog forming over higher ground. Not as cold as last night, but some frost across Gloucestershire but largely frost free elsewhere. Breezy in Devon and Cornwall. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Thursday:

Any early cloud clearing to leave a generally much sunnier day than on Wednesday. Much warmer with temperatures well above average but blustery easterly winds across Devon and Cornwall. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Spells of warm hazy sunshine on Friday but showery rain later, locally heavy. Cloudier over the weekend with showers, probably heaviest on Sunday, but some dry weather too. Feeling cooler.

Still rather unsettled across much of the UK at first with scope for some heavy showers across parts of the south on Sunday, but overall, the final week or so of March to the start of April looks to be characterised by a slowly evolving, generally changeable weather pattern. This means some drier interludes are likely, perhaps more especially in the south, where overnight fog is also a possibility. Further north and northwest, there is a greater chance of rain or showers, these accompanied by windier conditions at times. There is a small chance that these wetter, windier conditions may become more widespread for a time. Temperatures will probably pan out close to average overall, though chilly nights remain possible where clear skies coincide with light winds.

Confidence is lower than normal, but blocked or slow-moving weather patterns are most probable for the first half of April. This can lead to slow-moving areas of low and high pressure and, depending on their location, this can result in extended periods of either dry conditions (slightly more-likely) or wetter episodes in the form of rain or showers (slightly less-likely). Temperatures will vary, with some large day-to-day swings possible, but overall are likely to be near average.
