Today’s UK weather brings a mix of sunny spells and scattered showers, with a brisk westerly wind keeping things feeling cool. The wettest conditions are expected across northern and western areas, while the southeast enjoys the best of the dry, brighter weather.

What is the outlook for the rest of the week?

A low-pressure system will linger near northern Britain, meaning further showers on Wednesday and Thursday, particularly in Scotland, northern England and parts of Wales. Southern and eastern areas, including weather london and weather birmingham, will see longer dry intervals and lighter winds, with temperatures climbing a degree or two by Friday. For a detailed breakdown of conditions near the capital, check 10 Day Weather Forecast UK.

Are there any weather warnings in place?

The Met Office has issued a Yellow warning for rain covering parts of western Scotland and the Pennines, where persistent drizzle could lead to localised flooding. Elsewhere, the rain is lighter and more patchy. Drivers near weather slough and weather skegness should watch for sudden downpours, while those in weather canary wharf and weather cranfield will stay mostly dry. A Moderate Rainfall Warning remains active until Thursday afternoon.

High today12–15°C southeast, 8–11°C northwest
Rain chance60–80% Scotland & NW England; 20–30% SE & East Anglia
Wind gusts25–35 mph coastal areas, easing inland
SunsetFrom 20:05 BST in the south to 19:30 in the far north
Will it be colder than usual this week?

Temperatures are near the seasonal average for late spring. Overnight lows will dip to 5–8°C in rural spots, so you may want a jacket if you’re heading out early in weather york or weather cranfield.

When will the showers ease?

Showers should become lighter and more isolated from Saturday as high pressure builds from the southwest. Many parts, especially the Midlands and south, can expect a much drier weekend. Check Long Range Weather Forecast for the latest update.

Is it safe to travel in the warning areas?

Yes, but allow extra time on roads in western Scotland and the Pennines. Surface water and reduced visibility are the main risks. The Weather Radar UK can help you plan your journey around the heaviest bands of rain.
