The live forecast above updates automatically throughout the day. The main panel shows the current temperature, “feels like” value and wind direction.

What is Newton Abbot’s typical climate through the seasons?
Newton Abbot has a mild maritime climate. Winters (December to February) are cool and damp, with daytime highs usually in single figures and frequent rain. Spring (March to May) brings slowly rising temperatures and longer dry spells, though April can still be showery. Summers (June to August) are warm but rarely hot, with occasional humid days and a risk of heavy downpours. Autumn (September to November) is often the wettest season, with Atlantic fronts bringing strong winds and persistent rain.
How does local geography affect the weather here?
Newton Abbot sits in the Teign Valley, sheltered from the strongest coastal winds by surrounding hills. This can make it slightly warmer and calmer than nearby coastal towns such as Teignmouth or Dawlish, but the valley also traps mist and low cloud on still mornings. The proximity of Dartmoor to the west means moist air rising over the moor can trigger afternoon showers that drift eastwards over the town.
When is the best time to visit, and what should you pack?
Late spring (May) and early autumn (September) offer the most settled weather, with milder temperatures and fewer crowds. Pack a waterproof jacket and layers all year round: a light fleece for summer evenings, a warmer coat and sturdy shoes for winter. Sunscreen is useful on bright summer days, but an umbrella is essential in any season.
Which nearby areas do readers also check?
People viewing the Newton Abbot forecast often look at the coastal towns of Teignmouth, Torquay and Paignton for beach conditions, and Dawlish for its seafront. Inland, Totnes and Brixham are popular for day trips. For a national overview, see the UK weather hub or the full list of UK towns.
