Cornwall’s weather today, as shown in the live forecast above, is dominated by a brisk south-westerly flow bringing a mix of bright spells and scattered showers, with the heaviest rain likely over Bodmin Moor and the north coast near Newquay.

What is the outlook for the next few days?

The coming week will remain changeable. Low pressure sitting to the west will feed occasional bands of rain across the county, while the Lizard and the Roseland Peninsula may see longer dry spells. Night-time temperatures will hover around 8–10°C, with daytime highs reaching 13–15°C by the weekend.

UV indexModerate (3–4) – factor in sun protection if out for long
High tide (Penzance)3.1 m at 14:22 BST – strong currents near headlands

Will it stay wet for the whole of the 10-day period?

No. After midweek, high pressure edges in from the Atlantic, pushing the wettest weather north. The 21 day weather forecast Cornwall suggests a dry slot developing around day 8 to 10, though confidence is low. For the most reliable view, check the 10 Day Weather Forecast UK page.

How does the Cornwall weather map help me plan a day out?

The cornwall weather map shows live radar and satellite imagery, highlighting where rain bands are likely to hit. It’s especially useful for coastal walkers deciding between north and south coast routes.

Is there a weather warning today for Cornwall?

No cornwall weather warning today is in force, but the Met Office is monitoring a low pressure system that could bring gusty winds to the Isles of Scilly later this week. Stay updated via our UK weather hub.

Should I trust the 21 day forecast for Cornwall?

Long-range outlooks (21 days) are useful for trend spotting but can shift by several degrees. For day-to-day planning, stick to the weather in cornwall 10 days forecasts, which are updated more frequently.

For longer-term planning, the 10 day forecast and cornwall weather 14 days outlook are refreshed daily. Keep an eye on the newquay cornwall weather segment for surf conditions, and remember that cornwall weather bbc and Met Office updates are both reliable sources.
