The probability of precipitation determines the probability that rain (or other types of precipitation such as sleet, snow, hail, and drizzle) will fall from the sky at any given time.
This number shows the air temperature in a given period. You can display the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit using the drop-down menu.
Temperature seems to take into account other factors such as wind speed and humidity. Thanks to this, you have a better idea of what the actual temperature will be at that time.
Wind gusts show the highest wind speed you should encounter at this time when the wind is at its peak and calm.
Strong winds are marked in bold for speeds of 29 mph or greater.
The arrow shows the direction the wind is blowing. The letters indicate the direction the wind is blowing from (on a standard 16-point compass).
The number represents the average wind speed expected at that time.
The arrow shows the direction of the wind (above north). If the arrow points from land to sea, the wind will blow from the shore. The number is the average wind speed.
If you are using inflatables, paddle boards or kayaks, watch out for shore winds. These winds can throw you out to sea. Read more abouthow the wind will affect you on the beach.
Visibility measures the distance at which an object can be clearly seen.
| VP (very bad) | Less than 1 km |
| P (bad) | 1.1 km to 4 km |
| M (medium) | 4.1 km to 10 km |
| G (good) | 10.1 km to 20 km |
| VG (very good) | 20.1 km to 40 km |
| E (perfect) | Over 40 km |
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. If there is a lot of water vapor, the humidity will be high. The higher the humidity percentage, the wetter it will feel outside.
UV exposure index and protection needed to stay safe:
-No UV risk- It's safe to stay outside.1-2Short- You can safely stay outside.

This is the average wave height, 1-2 miles from the sea. Wave height may vary. Individual waves in the sea or on the beach may be larger than this number. If you are near the water, watch out for the waves so as not to take you or your belongings.
Read more aboutcalculation of the expected wave height on the beach.
This is the average number of seconds between one wave and the next, 1-2 miles from the sea. A long period of waves (more than 10 seconds) means that the waves on the beach can be stronger. Lifeguards can give you advice on how to wave if you plan to go into the water.

The arrow shows the average wave direction 1–2 miles offshore. It shows how the beach will be protected from these waves. If the arrow points to land, most of the wave force will reach the beach. If the arrow is parallel or points away from land, the wave height is likely to be lower at the beach than at sea.
Lifeguards can give you advice on how to wave if you plan to go into the water.

UPDATE:
Long-term weather forecast for Great Britain
Tuesday is likely to bring fine dry weather as the mists and mists clear early. The clouds will then move northwest with light rain and drizzle, which may become more intense soon after. The rest of August will be rather unsettled, with showers or heavy downpours affecting many areas. Possible gusty winds, most likely in the north. Early September is likely to remain volatile with a mix of sun and rain. Western areas are at greater risk of more frequent rainfall, but showers are possible across the country. Temperatures are expected to stay near average throughout the season, although it can be chilly in the event of persistent clouds or rain.
UPDATE:
The volatile conditions prevailing until the end of August are initially expected to continue. While local variations are possible, overall, the best consistent weather is likely to be in the south and east, while the north and west will see more clouds and precipitation. However, by the middle of the month, there is a chance that the high pressure will take on a greater impact, particularly in the south of the UK, which could lead to longer periods of drought in that part of the country. Temperatures are likely to stay in the mid-range until early September, but by mid-month they may be slightly above average.

Weather and climate in Devon
Saunton and Croyde often record the highest temperatures in Britain, often due to easterly and southeasterly winds. The south-east coast of Devon, including places such as Salcombe and Exmouth, is one of the sunniest places in the UK.
The verdict. If you prefer forests, hills and moorlands over the coast, go to Devon. If you're more of a beach bum than a country bumpkin, Cornwall is a better shout. And if you're 50/50, Devon offers the best of both worlds.
