Rain is the story across Tavistock and the surrounding area this Thursday. The day starts with light rain showers, but the afternoon brings heavy rain that will last through the evening and overnight. Temperatures will hover around 13°C, feeling more like 11°C in the blustery conditions. A light jacket and waterproofs will be essential for anyone heading out.
The heaviest rain is expected from mid-afternoon, with the worst of it between 3pm and 9pm. The rain will be accompanied by strong winds, with gusts reaching up to 47.5 mph around 9pm. The rain will ease slightly overnight, but it will remain heavy and persistent. The temperature will dip to around 12°C, feeling more like 8°C in the wind.
The rain is expected to total around 27mm by the end of the day, with the heaviest falls coming in the afternoon and evening. The wind will be blowing in from the south, making it feel even colder than the temperature suggests. The UV index is low, so sun protection is not a concern today. The rain is set to continue into Friday, so keep the waterproofs handy.
