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.

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 ❄️❄️

⚡️⚡️ 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 ⚡️⚡️

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 …

We’re seeing a few localised incidences of lightning activity bubbling up along the M4 corridor, as far as Swindon at the moment. westweather.co.uk/lightning-stri… to track live

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

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 : westweather.co.uk/lightning-stri…

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

Some Aurora shafts near Cirencester last night. @chunder10

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

Happy Friday everyone ☀️☀️☀️

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.

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

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

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 ☀️

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 …

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

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

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
