Good morning, we start the day with sub-zero temperatures across the South West this morning. ⚠️❄️ We have a yellow warning for snow and ice covering Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, Devon, Dorset, Glos, Somerset & Wiltshire running from 1200 Sat 04 Jan through Sun 05 Jan

Becoming a rare event in the UK. Enjoy it while it lasts ! ❄️❄️

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

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 …

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 ☀️

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

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: westweather.co.uk/isslive

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.

Happy Friday everyone ☀️☀️☀️

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 : westweather.co.uk/aurora

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 ❄️❄️
