NEW PAGES IN DEVELOPMENT
Experimental pages are now live for testing, offering clear 24-hour weather summaries across the British Isles plus hourly observation maps. I'm also rolling out enhanced local forecasts for Teignmouth and wider Devon, working on real-time rainfall radar, sea conditions, water quality and expanding the range of charts available.
Plenty more is coming - I'm keen to make Teignmouth Weather even more useful!
Review of December 2025. Following a relatively mild and wetter than average November, December proved similarly mild with slighly above average temperatures but was much wetter than average with a very wet initial two and a half week period. Monthly mean air temperature = 8.1C, 0.6C above the long term average (LTA) (1991-2020). Mean daily maximum temperature = 10.6C (0.2C above LTA). Mean daily minimum temperature = 5.5C (0.9C above LTA). Highest air temperature = 15.0C on 9th. Lowest air temperature = -1.4C on 31st. Lowest grass minimum temperature = -5.0C on 31st. Highest air minimum temperature = 12.2C on 9th. Days with air frost = 1. Days with ground frost = 5. So far during 2025 ten air frosts and 49 ground frosts have been recorded.
Monthly total precipitation (measured in manual 5 inch diameter copper rain gauge) = 185.0mm (183% of LTA). Davis rain gauge total = 193.0mm. Wettest day recorded by copper gauge = 39.5mm on 15th (covering the 24 hours ending 9am GMT on the quoted day). Days when precipitation total 0.2mm or greater = 20, 1mm or more = 16, 5mm or more = 9, 10mm or more = 6.
Annual review for 2025. Overall mean temperature = 12.57C (0.92C above LTA). This was the 3rd warmest in my series extending back to 2008, with 2023 being wamest (12.65C). Mean maximum temperature = 15.90C (1.00C above LTA). Mean minimum temperature = 9.24C (0.84C above LTA). Highest temperature during 2025 = 27.2C on 28th June, some way below my record temperature of 31.8C recorded on 17th June 2022. Lowest air temperature = -2.4C on 3rd January, the lowest minimum temperaure since 16th Jan 2024 when I recorded -3.4C. Air frosts = 10 (LTA = 11.1) (2 in Jan, 6 in Mar, 1 in Nov and 1 in Dec). This was four more than in 2024. Ground frosts = 49 (15 in Jan, 6 in Feb, 13 in Mar, 3 in Apr, 7 in Nov and 5 in Dec), 8 more than 2024. There are no long-term statistics for grass frost in Teignmouth although my average for the period 2009-2025 is 62 grass frosts (and 11 air frosts for the same period). Total rainfall (manual copper gauge) = 976.8mm (112% of LTA). This was somewhat less than the 1146.4mm that I recorded in 2024. Wettest day of 2025 was 15th Dec when 39.5mm was recorded. Rain or heavy dew amounting to 0.2mm or greater was measured on 187 days, 12 less than in 2024. During the period 2009-2025 the annual average was 199 days.

The tables above show weather conditions recorded by a Davis Vantage Pro 2 automatic weather station sited in Teignmouth, South Devon. They are usually updated every 10 minutes. All times are Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), so add one hour for British Summer Time (BST).
* Air temperature is measured 1.9m above ground level and the anemometer is just 2.2m above ground level in a NNW/SSE oriented valley. The wind direction is therefore heavily biased towards either the up or down valley direction and the anemometer is very sheltered from the prevailing westerly flow by higher ground directly upstream. The thermistor that measures grass tip temperature only has a resolution of 1 degree Fahrenheit and this has been automatically converted into Celcius to the nearest 0.1 degrees. A grass temperature of < 0°C indicates the occurrence of a ground frost (air temperature < 0°C indicates an air frost). The leaf wetness sensor monitors the level of surface moisture on foliage and hence the occurrence of dew, fog, drizzle, rain etc. Soil moisture is measured in centibars (cb) [0-10cb = saturated soil, 10-30cb = ground adequately wet, 30-100cb = ground needs irrigating to maintain maximum production, 100-200 cb = ground dry. ]. The strength of the sun's ultraviolet radiation is expressed as a UV index and was developed by the World Health Organization. As a guide 0-2 = low, 3-5 = medium, 6-7 = high, 8-10 = very high, 11+ = extreme. You can safely stay outside if UV is low, and it is recommended that you wear sunscreen if levels are moderate or higher, and seek shade if levels are high or above. In Teignmouth UV levels reach 7 in mid-summer and may reach 8 on exceptional days.
