Tewkesbury sits at the confluence of the Severn and Avon, where the local weather is shaped by the Severn Vale and the nearby Malvern Hills. The live forecast above gives you an up‑to‑the‑minute view of conditions for the town, including temperature, precipitation and wind.
How should you read the live forecast above for Tewkesbury?
The live forecast above shows the current temperature, a short description of conditions (such as “light rain” or “partly cloudy”), and the chance of precipitation. Icons indicate whether it is sunny, overcast or rainy. Wind speed and direction are also displayed, which can be especially useful if you are planning outdoor activities near the rivers or on higher ground.
What is Tewkesbury’s typical climate through the seasons?
Tewkesbury has a temperate maritime climate, with mild winters and cool summers. Winter daytime temperatures typically stay in the single digits Celsius, while summer afternoons often reach the low twenties. Rainfall is spread fairly evenly through the year, though autumn and winter can be wetter. The town is not particularly windy compared with exposed coastal areas, but strong south‑westerly winds can bring bands of rain.
How does local geography affect Tewkesbury’s weather?
The town lies in the Severn Vale, a low‑lying floodplain that can hold moisture and fog, especially in autumn and winter. The Malvern Hills to the west create a slight rain‑shadow effect, meaning Tewkesbury sometimes receives less rainfall than areas directly west of the hills. However, the confluence of the Severn and Avon makes the town prone to flooding after prolonged heavy rain, so it is worth checking the UK weather warnings for flood alerts.
When is the best time to visit Tewkesbury and what should you pack?
Late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to October) offer the most settled weather, with milder temperatures and fewer heavy downpours. Pack layers, a waterproof jacket and comfortable footwear, as conditions can change quickly. In summer, light clothing and sunscreen are useful; in winter, a warm coat and hat are advisable.

What is the 10‑14 day outlook for Tewkesbury?
Beyond a few days, forecast confidence drops. The 10‑14 day outlook on the 10‑day forecast page gives a general trend – for example, whether a period of unsettled or settled weather is likely – but day‑to‑day details should be treated as indicative.
Does it rain a lot in Tewkesbury?
Tewkesbury receives about 700 mm of rain a year, which is slightly below the UK average of around 850 mm. Rain falls on roughly 120–130 days per year, so while you should expect some wet days, the town is not exceptionally rainy compared with western parts of the country.
How does flooding affect Tewkesbury’s weather?
Flooding does not directly change the weather, but prolonged heavy rain can cause the Severn and Avon to overflow, leading to road closures and travel disruption. Always check the live forecast and UK weather warnings if you are planning a visit during autumn or winter.
