Street Youth Hostel (Somerset) weather

Headline:

Cold for the next few days with wintry showers possible.

Today:

Cloudy with showers for a while this morning. Brightening up for a time around the middle of the day from the northwest, though showers breaking out quite widely again during the afternoon. Continuing to feel chilly as winds strengthen later. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Tonight:

Showers continuing overnight with some stronger northerly winds around the northern coasts of Devon and Cornwall. Frost likely to form in sheltered spots with temperatures here dipping below freezing. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Wednesday:

Rain in the east clearing during the morning to leave brighter skies across the region. Showers likely across Cornwall which could turn wintry at times. Cold again, in northerly winds. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Staying cold with sunny spells. Wintry showers in the west slowly easing. A change into the weekend as wind and rain moves in allowing temperatures to increase closer to average.

Atlantic weather fronts will continue to spread east bringing spells of rain, potentially quite widely. More showery conditions will likely follow but there will be some brighter spells at times. The showery conditions will likely persist for a few subsequent days, though there is some risk of Atlantic frontal systems moving in from the west at times. Temperatures will be a little below normal. A westerly dominated pattern will likely persist through to the end of November with outbreaks of rain or showers and temperatures near to or a little below normal. There could however still be some wintry showers at times in the north. Areas if low pressure may bring longer spells of rain and periods of strong winds at times.

Whilst there is a lot of uncertainty as to the flavour of weather affecting the UK into December, there is a greater chance than normal of slower evolving weather patterns. A mixture of weather types seems most likely and so some wetter days, with widespread rain or showers and the chance of snow, mainly for higher ground in the north. Equally some drier periods are also anticipated, increasing the possibility of some frosty nights and fog. Overall, temperatures close to average are most likely, but some colder spells are also possible, especially if any prolonged settled spells develop.
