Pack a waterproof if you’re heading out around Pendeen today. The live forecast above shows the coastal weather turning showery, with strengthening south-westerly winds making conditions feel notably cooler along the cliffs and near Treen.

What is the outlook for Pendeen today and tonight?

The morning will bring bright spells but cloud builds from the west by midday, bringing scattered showers that could turn heavy at times. Winds will increase to fresh or strong south-westerly, gusting near 30 mph on exposed headlands. Overnight, most showers ease but a band of more persistent rain pushes in from the Atlantic before dawn. Temperatures hold around 11–12°C. For those checking ten-day forecasts for the wider region, the unsettled pattern looks set to continue into the weekend.

How does Pendeen’s location affect its weather?

Pendeen sits on a rugged stretch of Cornwall’s north coast, fully exposed to Atlantic systems. This means conditions often differ markedly from inland towns like Penzance, just a few miles south-east. The cliffs around Pendeen and nearby Treen can experience sudden sea-fog and stronger gusts, especially in south-westerly flows. For a broader view of coastal versus inland weather, check the UK weather hub for live maps and regional updates.

Coastal exposureOpen Atlantic fetch gives Pendeen a higher chance of gales and sea-fog than sheltered inland spots.

RainfallPendeen averages over 1,100 mm of rain a year – one of the wettest spots in Cornwall.
Tide timesSpring tides can flood the lower car park near Porthmeor; check local tide tables before beach walks.
Where is the most reliable live update for Pendeen weather?

The Met Office and BBC Weather both provide hourly updates. For Pendeen specifically, search “BBC Weather Pendeen” or “Met Office weather Pendeen” – the coastal icon often reflects sea-state as well as rainfall. Treen weather tends to mirror Pendeen, being less than a mile away.

Is Pendeen’s weather very different from Penzance?

Yes. Penzance is partly sheltered by St Michael’s Mount and faces east, so it can be notably drier and calmer. Pendeen’s open headland catches the full Atlantic fetch – if you see rain in the local Met Office map for “weather Penzance”, expect it to arrive at Pendeen first.

Should I check Pendeen weather before visiting the coast path?

Always. The stretch between Pendeen and Treen is exposed and can become treacherous in strong winds or sea-fog. The live forecast above shows wind direction and gust speeds – look for south-westerlies above 25 mph, which can make clifftop paths unsafe for casual walkers.
