Take a waterproof jacket if you are heading out in Northam today: the live forecast above shows rain arriving by mid-morning, with temperatures holding near 10°C and a moderate westerly breeze.
Will the rain clear this evening?
The rain is likely to persist through the afternoon, easing to light drizzle after 6pm. The live forecast above indicates cloud cover remaining thick overnight, with lows around 7°C. Drier conditions are expected by tomorrow morning.
How does Northam’s coastal location affect the forecast?
Northam sits inland from Bideford Bay, so sea breezes can moderate temperatures. The live forecast above shows wind speeds of 12–18 mph from the west, typical for this stretch of the Devon coast. Gusts may reach 25 mph near exposed spots.
Will the wind cause any disruption in Northam?
Gusts up to 25 mph may make cycling or walking on exposed paths near the estuary feel unsteady. Loose garden items should be secured, but no major travel disruption is expected.
Is this rain unusual for early March in North Devon?
It is typical. March averages 80 mm of rainfall along the North Devon coast, with westerly systems bringing frequent showers. The live forecast above shows nothing out of the ordinary.
Should I check the forecast again before travelling to nearby towns?
Yes. Conditions can vary between Northam and Bideford or Barnstaple. Our UK weather hub provides updates for surrounding areas, and the 10 Day Weather Forecast UK page covers the wider region.
