Scilly falls on the boundary between four shipping
areas (Fastnet, Lundy, Sole and Plymouth) but local people say that the
forecast for Plymouth is the most accurate for Scilly. Click here

In the BBC 'Reports from Local Stations', Scilly has its own station, 'Scilly Automatic', and you will hear the local weather condition just prior to the broadcast. For a full description of the terms used in the forecasts, go to our weather forecast glossary page |
