What’s the weather doing in West Bay right now?
The live forecast above updates every few minutes with observations from the nearest Met Office station. Look at the “Now” column for current wind speed and direction – that is often the deciding factor for whether you can launch a boat or walk the East Beach without a jacket.
How reliable are the long-range forecasts for West Bay?
Coastal weather shifts quickly. The 5-day outlook in the live forecast is reliable for general trends – rain bands, high pressure – but local sea breezes and cliffs can create micro‑weather. Always recheck the live forecast two hours before heading out.
Why does the live forecast show different wind speeds from other apps?
The live forecast above pulls raw Met Office data from the nearest coastal station (Portland Bill). Other apps often interpolate from inland models, which miss sea‑air temperature differences that sharpen wind near the cliffs.
Can I rely on the rain radar for a walk on the beach?
Yes – the rain layer in the live forecast shows 15‑minute returns. If it’s red over the sea, expect a shower to reach West Bay within 30 minutes. White/grey means dry ground.
What’s the best time of day to avoid low cloud and fog?
Early morning often has sea mist that burns off by 10 am. The live forecast’s visibility bar (if shown) turns orange below 1 km. Aim for midday to early afternoon for clearest views of the cliffs.
