Check the live forecast above before heading out in Exeter today – the city’s coastal position means conditions can shift quickly, so it pays to stay a step ahead.
What’s the weather like in Exeter today and tomorrow?
The live forecast above gives you the most reliable picture for the next 24 to 48 hours. For a quick glance, many people turn to BBC Weather Exeter or the Met Office weather Exeter page, both updated several times daily. If you’re planning ahead for tomorrow, the weather in Exeter tomorrow section in the live forecast shows any risk of rain or wind that might affect your commute. Exeter’s position in the Exe Estuary often brings low cloud or drizzle in the morning, clearing by lunchtime – so check the map too if you’re heading out early.
How reliable are longer-term Exeter forecasts?
For anything beyond a few days, treat the detail as a trend rather than a promise. The weather in Exeter 10 days forecast gives a good sense of whether a settled or unsettled spell is likely. For a broader view, the Exeter weather 14 day forecast and Exeter weather 21 day forecast can help you decide when to book outdoor plans. If you need a longer look ahead, the Exeter weather forecast 30 days shows broad pressure patterns, but accuracy drops sharply after two weeks. For a quick visual, the Exeter weather map (often available via the 10 Day Weather Forecast UK page) shows where rain bands are heading.
Does Exeter get much rain?
Yes, but less than many parts of the South West. Exeter lies in a rain shadow east of Dartmoor, so annual totals are roughly 830mm – similar to London – although drizzle and cloud are more frequent.
When is the best time to visit Exeter?
Late spring (May–June) and early autumn (September) offer the best balance of mild temperatures, longer daylight and fewer wet days. July can be busier and occasionally hot, but sea breezes help.
How accurate is the 10-day forecast for Exeter?
Reasonable for the first five days, then confidence drops. The Met Office and BBC both suggest treating day 6–10 predictions as a general trend – especially for wind and rain timing – rather than a minute-by-minute guide.
