About weather on the South West Coast Path

The South West Coast Path from Minehead to South Haven Point features maritime conditions that turn quickly, often mixing sunshine, showers, and wind across exposed headlands and sheltered bays in a single day. May and June offer long daylight, firmer paths after winter, widespread ferry operations, and spring flowers along the cliffs. Conditions vary by section, with wilder, wetter stretches in the west and slightly more sheltered segments toward South Devon and Dorset.

• Winter: Frequent rain and overcast skies dominate, with occasional heavier downpours, variable winds, rare snow, and intermittent sunny breaks.
• Spring: Highly changeable, with frequent showers, sunny intervals, fluctuating temperatures, heavier rain at times, and slightly warmer, drier spells toward eastern sections.
• Summer: Mixture of cloud, sunshine, and regular showers; generally mild to warm temperatures, variable winds, and occasional heavier rain bands.
• Autumn: Variable conditions with intermittent sunshine, increasing showers and heavier bursts, widespread cloudiness, cooling temperatures, and occasionally brisk coastal winds.
