Local & Regional Weather & Environmental Monitoring Sites

Teignmouth is fortunate to have several meteorological, climatological and oceanographic monitoring sites. These provide valuable local data and complement the information on this website. Details of these sites are listed below and plotted on the map where applicable.

National Coastwatch Institute (NCI) Teignmouth

National Coastwatch Institute (NCI) Teignmouth Live Weather
At Eastcliff on Teignmouth sea front. It has various weather instruments sited on the roof and can provide an assessment of weather and sea conditions if you call 01626 772377 or VHF Channel 65 between at least 09:00 and 16:00 (check website for up to date details).

Official Teignmouth Climate Station

Official Teignmouth Climate Station Data
Run by Teignbridge DC on the Den. Daily manual climate observations have been made at 09:00 GMT for over 100 years, making it a very impressive and unique record of the town's weather. The site meets strict criteria laid down by the Met Office. Recent data can be viewed online and a daily report is published in the window of the Resorts Office by the pier.

Local Bathing Water Quality Results

From the 1st May and throughout the summer the Environment Agency tests the bathing water quality every 7-10 days. It is measured locally on:

• Teignmouth Town Beach
• Shaldon Beach
• Ness Beach
• Holcombe
• Dawlish

Wave Height, Period, Direction and Sea Temperature Data

Wave Height, Period, Direction and Sea Temperature Data (updated)
Measured by a Datawell Directional WaveRider Mk III Buoy installed off Dawlish (not shown on map). Funded by Plymouth University and Teignbridge District Council. Sadly the Old Wave Rex Radar on Teignmouth Pier closed several years ago after a storm damaged the pier.

Other Local Environmental Data

Other environmental data is collected locally and details of these will be added soon.
