About weather on the South West Coast Path

South West Coast Path (Minehead to South Haven Point) is a maritime route with quick‑changing skies, gusty headlands, short, steep climbs, and passing showers in brighter periods. April, May, and June often align with longer daylight, drier underfoot spells, and more consistent ferry and facility operations. Later summer brings fuller crowds and intermittent showers, while shoulder and winter periods feature frequent rain, blustery spells, slick paths, and shorter days with occasional service reductions.

• Spring: Changeable skies with frequent showers and sunny breaks; lengthening days, improving underfoot conditions, wildflowers, and more ferries, cafés, and campsites operating.
• Summer: Long days with sunshine-and-showers patterns, breezy headlands, variable winds; warmer periods, intermittent downpours, and busier hotspots with queues for popular crossings.
• Autumn: Mild to cooling air with frequent fronts, more showers and heavier bursts, blustery sections, shortening daylight, and increasingly wet, slick ground.
• Winter: Frequent rain and cloud, blustery headlands, short daylight, greasy paths, light freezing rain possible, with some services and crossings reduced or unavailable.
