As we step into the week of October 15, 2024, residents of Barnstaple can expect a mix of weather conditions. With temperatures ranging from 11ยฐC to 17ยฐC, it's certainly going to be a cooler week as autumn settles in. Let's break down the forecast for the next three days to keep you prepared.
The day kicks off with a sunrise at 7:40 AM and will see temperatures peak at around 17ยฐC (62ยฐF) in the afternoon. The morning starts off cloudy, with cloudy intervals leading up to some patchy rain showers expected later in the afternoon and evening. Wind speeds are predicted to reach a comfortable 14-22 miles per hour (22-36 km/h) from the ESE. However, don't fear the wet weather too much; precipitation is expected to be light, around 0.4 mm, with about 8.3 hours of sunshine possibly peeking through.
Furthermore, keep an eye on visibility, which may drop as clouds thicken and rain begins. The humidity will be notably high at around 94% during the earlier hours, leading to a slight chance of mist forming.
On Wednesday, expect slightly milder temperatures with a maximum of about 16ยฐC (61ยฐF) and a minimum of 15ยฐC (58ยฐF). Conditions for the day will be predominantly overcast with possible rain showers and very limited opportunities for sunshineโessentially a continuation of Tuesday's pattern. The winds will remain breezy at around 15 miles per hour (24 km/h), potentially making it feel chillier.
A notable point is that the overall chance of rain sits at a staggering 100% throughout the day. So, if you have outdoor plans, you might want to reconsider or prepare thoroughly.
The last day of this brief forecast holds a more promising outlook, starting with some fog in the early morning, leading to a sunny afternoon. The temperatures will hold steady at 16ยฐC (61ยฐF), with the chance for sunnier spells increasing significantly as we hit mid-afternoon. Gentle breezes will accompany the day, starting from 17 mph (28 km/h), also enhancing the chill in the air.
As we transition into late afternoon and evening, expect it to cool off, but overall visibility should improve significantly as the fog lifts.
