Polperro’s weather today, as shown in the live forecast above, is typical for a Cornish coastal village: mild but changeable, with sea breezes and a chance of showers. The key is layering up and checking the radar before heading out.
What is the Polperro weather forecast for this week?
The outlook for Polperro over the next few days follows a familiar pattern of Atlantic fronts moving through, bringing a mix of cloud, light rain and brighter spells. Temperatures will hover near seasonal averages, with winds picking up along the exposed harbour.
- Expect the best of any sunshine in the mornings before cloud builds from the west by afternoon.
- Rain, when it arrives, is usually light and showery rather than persistent, but a waterproof jacket is wise.
- Sea conditions can change quickly; check local tide times if planning coastal walks or fishing trips.
- For a longer view, the 10 Day Weather Forecast UK page gives a reliable overview of the week ahead.
How does Polperro’s coastal location affect the weather?
Being tucked into a steep valley on the south Cornwall coast, Polperro often experiences slightly milder temperatures than inland areas, but also more frequent mist and sea fog. The harbour funnels wind, making it feel cooler than the actual air temperature.
- Sea breezes can strengthen suddenly in the afternoon, especially in spring and summer.
- Fog is most common in spring and autumn, sometimes lingering all day in the valley.
- Rainfall totals are generally lower than on exposed moorland, but showers can be heavy when a front stalls over the coast.
- For comparison with nearby towns, see the Bristol Weather page for a different regional pattern.
Is Polperro weather different from Looe weather?
Polperro and Looe are only a few miles apart, so conditions are very similar. However, Polperro’s narrower valley can trap fog and damp air longer. For a direct comparison, check bbc weather looe or weather in looe 10 days forecasts.
Where can I find a reliable 14-day forecast for Polperro?

Does Polperro get much wind?
