Live data from Open-Meteo · updates automatically ·
A mostly cloudy day across the UK with patchy rain moving eastwards, though southern England, including London, will see brighter spells by afternoon. Blustery winds in the north make it feel cooler, with highs reaching 14°C in the Midlands.
What’s the weather looking like across different regions?
As you can see from the live conditions above, it’s a tale of two halves. London and the South East should catch some sunshine after lunch, while Birmingham and the Midlands stay mostly overcast with light drizzle. Up in York, expect a brisk wind and occasional showers. Down in Slough it’s dry but grey, and over in Cranfield the cloud is thick but no rain expected until evening. Skegness will be breezy with a slight chance of a shower, while Canary Wharf, like central London, sees the best chance of late sun.
Will it stay this unsettled over the weekend?
Briefly yes, but Sunday should see a ridge of high pressure building from the south. The long range forecast suggests a drier, calmer start to next week across England, though Scotland may hold on to showers.
Is it worth heading outside in London today?
If you’re in the capital, the afternoon brightening makes it a decent time for a walk – just take a light coat. The wind is light, so no need for a brolly unless you’re up in Canary Wharf where an odd spot of rain may linger.
What about the north – should I postpone travel?
Not necessarily, but pack a windproof jacket if you’re driving through York or Skegness. The blustery conditions on the North Sea coast could make cycling or walking along the beach less pleasant today.
Is there any weather warning in place?
A mild moderate rainfall warning covers parts of western Scotland until noon, with up to 30mm in the wettest spots. Elsewhere, no alerts are active, but keep an eye on the radar if you’re heading out.
