Good morning. It’s looking very much as though the South West temperature record for the month of May is likely to be broken this afternoon with temperatures creeping into the 30s. Take care if you’re out & about …

[WestWeather UK @WestWeather]

It’s the middle of the Bank Holiday Weekend and right now we’ve got 28°C in Wiltshire, 27°C across Gloucestershire & Somerset & Devon making this the hottest day of the year so far .. with even more again tomorrow 🔥🔥

[WestWeather UK @WestWeather]

Good morning. A bitterly cold start to the new working week. It’s a bitterly cold -4°C in Gloucestershire with a light covering of snow in places. Parts of Devon are down to -7°C.
Take care if you’re out & about.

[WestWeather UK @WestWeather]

Good morning. Parts of Somerset are currently down close to -7°C this morning with Gloucestershire & Dorset coming in a close second.
Can’t see temperatures reaching much above freezing on this bitterly cold first Sunday in January.

Morning all! Our in-house generated charts are throwing up a bit of a Boxing Day surprise. It’s six days away, plenty of time to change but one to watch we think ❄️❄️

[WestWeather UK @WestWeather]

⚡️⚡️ It’s all kicking off for the second consecutive day. We have a very active line of thunderstorms heading north-easterly across the region this afternoon ⚡️⚡️

[WestWeather UK @WestWeather]

Good morning, the Yellow warning of thunderstorms affecting parts of the South West England is perhaps for good reason. ⚡️⚡️ getting lively out there just now …

[WestWeather UK @WestWeather]

We’re seeing a few localised incidences of lightning activity bubbling up along the M4 corridor, as far as Swindon at the moment.

⚡️⚡️Still very active along the line of convergence this afternoon

[WestWeather UK @WestWeather]

Here we go .. This afternoon’s first active thunderstorm has now developed between Bath & Bristol.

Keep an eye as it develops live on the South West Weather website : https://t.co/LtDgPXmcxy

This isolated thunderstorm might be interesting ⚡️⚡️ #bristol #gloucester

Some Aurora shafts near Cirencester last night.

[WestWeather UK @WestWeather]

Promising signs for #aurora tonight if the geomagnetic activity remains this busy.

If this lasts and the sky remains mostly clear, this could be a big one !

Our animated tracker gives a great animated picture as the evening develops : https://t.co/Hi98quF1ho

Happy Friday everyone ☀️☀️☀️

[WestWeather UK @WestWeather]

Evening all!
It’s looking good with clear skies likely for tomorrow's partial solar eclipse, which peaks just after 11 am at around 25% coverage here in the SW.
Be careful and use eclipse glasses or solar filter to look at it properly.

[WestWeather UK @WestWeather]

After the warmest day of 2025 by a country mile we have an amazing crossing of the International Space Station tonight. We have the times and live tracking up on our site if you like that sort of thing: https://t.co/SJDc65gZGA

[WestWeather UK @WestWeather]

That’s more like it ☀️Temperatures across the South West climbing up in to the mid teens today, some spots perhaps likely to reach 18/19°C !

Similar again tomorrow

[WestWeather UK @WestWeather]

The last morning of this meteorological winter and the last morning we’ll see temperatures this low for quite a while. Finally, tomorrow is the first day of spring ☀️

[WestWeather UK @WestWeather]

For most inland areas, last night was the coldest the UK has seen for the past few years. For those who live in the very South West, you have several million people jealous people envious of you …

[WestWeather UK @WestWeather]

A notable temperature gradient this morning.

Now a steamy 13°C in Cornwall and yet it’s still freezing in parts of Gloucestershire.
Warmer air pushing northwards through the morning, should see #uksnow turning to slush
