Today’s UK weather brings a mix of bright spells and scattered showers across the country, with the south seeing the best of the sunshine. The live conditions above show a patchy rain band moving northwards, while temperatures hold in the mid-teens for most.
What’s the weather doing across the UK today?
A brisk south-westerly breeze is pushing cloud and light rain into northern and western parts, including Scotland, Northern Ireland and the north-west of England. The south-east and London, however, stay drier and brighter, with sunny intervals developing through the afternoon. Temperatures peak around 15–17°C in the south, feeling cooler under the cloud further north. Overnight, rain eases, leaving a mostly cloudy but mild night for all.
Will it stay like this for the rest of the week?
Through Thursday, a weak ridge of high pressure builds, giving most places a drier day with more sunshine. Friday sees another front arrive from the Atlantic, bringing a band of rain across the whole country by evening. The 10 day weather forecast suggests a typical unsettled autumn pattern settling in for the weekend, so keep the brolly handy if you’re heading out.
Is it going to be cold tonight?
No, not particularly. Overnight lows stay around 10–12°C in most areas, with cloud cover acting as a blanket. It won’t feel frosty, just a bit damp under any lingering rain.
Will the south stay dry all day?
Largely yes, though a few isolated showers could pop up by late afternoon. The best chance of staying dry is in the south-east, so check the warmest place in the UK if you’re planning outdoor time.
Should I check the radar before travelling?
Worth a look if you’re heading north or west. The weather radar shows the band of rain moving through Scotland and the north-west, so you can time your journey to dodge the heavier bursts.
