Three regional forecasts for Thursday, March 12, point to widespread damp conditions, with Tenby, Okehampton, and Aberystwyth each facing rain and breezes. The key question in this weather forecast: where does the pattern stay simply wet, and where do wintry elements emerge as temperatures dip into the next day?
Tenby and Okehampton, Thursday, March 12: Rain now, patchier tomorrow
Tenby spends Thursday in frequent drizzle and gusty breezes, with unsettled rain on and off through the evening. Temperatures hover near 11°C before slipping to about 7°C later. Similar wet weather persists locally, with passing showers at times. Tomorrow trends damp again, featuring steady morning rain and breezy spells, with temperatures near 7°C and occasional breaks in cloud cover later in the day. Showers linger into the night and heavier bursts are sporadic, with visibility dipping in any heavier rain.
Okehampton also starts Thursday with moderate rain and cloudy spells through morning and afternoon. Breezy winds and grey skies hold through much of the day, and frequent showers may extend well into the evening. Temperatures sit near 11°C. Tomorrow, Okehampton sees patchy rain and occasional drizzle with temperatures near 6°C. Brief sleet could appear early, and skies might clear overnight, allowing for a cooler evening and reduced chances of continued rain.
Aberystwyth Friday mix vs. sleet risk in Okehampton: a cooler turn
Aberystwyth’s Thursday mirrors the wider region’s dampness: rain throughout the day, persistent showers, and breezy conditions. Temperatures hold near 11°C and dip to about 6°C after dark, with gusty winds making it feel colder. Tomorrow marks a shift: a mix of rain and snow showers is expected, with intervals of heavier bursts possible. Temperatures reach around 6°C by midday and fall to about 3°C overnight, while winds look less harsh than earlier in the week.
Placed alongside Aberystwyth’s mix, Okehampton’s outlook tomorrow appears cooler but less wintry. Patchy rain and drizzle dominate there, with only brief sleet possible. Clearing skies overnight suggest a cooler end to the day and a lower chance of prolonged precipitation, whereas Aberystwyth retains a clearer signal for wintry elements and colder overnight lows.

Viewed side by side, the shared thread is rain today and a cooler, still unsettled next day. Yet, the character of that cool-down differs: Aberystwyth carries a clear rain-and-snow mix tomorrow and the lowest overnight reading at about 3°C, while Okehampton’s sleet risk is brief against a backdrop of patchy rain. Tenby tilts wettest, with steady morning rain tomorrow and visibility reductions under heavier bursts.
This weather forecast shows broadly improving signals into the weekend across all three areas, though each holds its own caveats. Tenby mixes sunshine with brief showers on Saturday and keeps showers in play Sunday. Okehampton turns more stable Saturday, with lighter breezes and sun, while Sunday brings a modest chance of light rain. Aberystwyth remains more unsettled across both days, with frequent showers possible on Saturday and a Sunday that stays showery, with sleet still in the conversation.
Finding: patchy rain dominates the near term, with wintry elements concentrated most clearly in Aberystwyth and only briefly in Okehampton, while Tenby trends consistently wetter. The next check on this comparison arrives tomorrow: steady morning rain in Tenby, rain-and-snow mix in Aberystwyth, and patchy rain in Okehampton. If Aberystwyth maintains its cooler mix while Okehampton clears overnight, the comparison suggests the wintry feel will localize to Aberystwyth, with Tenby remaining primarily rainy.
