ITV Weather forecast for South West England

Here's the latest weather forecast for the West Country with Charlie Powell

Cloud will continue to build from the west this afternoon bringing outbreaks of rain across much of the region, especially western counties. Further spells of rain will move through this evening, followed by a drier second half of the night, but there will be plenty of low cloud, hill and coastal fog. A milder and frost free night with temperatures around 9 °C by dawn. Some very poor visibility for early Christmas travel though.

Dry but cloudy for most on Christmas Eve, with grey skies and drizzly outbreaks of rain at first. Visibility will improve and it'll turn drier for many through the afternoon, and also very mild with temperatures up to 13 °C.

Temperatures will stay above average through Christmas Day and the rest of the week, with high pressure maintaining a calm and settled theme. However, that also means a continuation of cloudy skies for most, with some brightness but also the odd spot of drizzle.
