Rain is the story across Bude and the surrounding coast this Thursday. The day starts with light rain, but it will soon turn heavy and persistent. Temperatures will hover around 14°C, feeling more like 13°C in the blustery conditions. A strong south wind will make it feel chillier still, and it will be worth wrapping up warm if you're out and about.
The afternoon will see heavy rain across the area, with a high of around 15°C. The rain will be persistent, with little chance of a break in the clouds. The wind will pick up, with blustery gusts making it feel colder than the temperature suggests. It will be a good day to stay indoors if you can, but if you must venture out, make sure to take a waterproof jacket and sturdy footwear.
Into the evening, the heavy rain will continue, with temperatures dipping to around 13°C. The wind will remain strong, with gusts reaching up to 46 mph at times. It will be a miserable night for anyone caught out in it, so make sure to plan your journeys carefully and allow extra time for your commute.
Overnight, the heavy rain will ease slightly, but it will still be a wet and windy night. Temperatures will drop to around 12°C, with a low of about 10°C by morning. The wind will be at its strongest overnight, with a peak gust of 57 mph expected between 05:00 and 06:00. It will be a good idea to secure any loose outdoor items and check on any vulnerable neighbours.
