If you’re chasing sunshine today, head to the southeast corner of England — the warmest place in the UK right now is typically London or parts of East Anglia, where high pressure brings clear skies and temperatures a few degrees above the rest of the country.
Where is the warmest place in the UK today?
Based on the live ranking above, the warmest spots are usually in and around London, with highs reaching 18–21°C depending on the season. Coastal areas like Bournemouth and Brighton can also rank highly when winds are light, but inland southeast locations often edge ahead. For comparison, the coldest place in the UK right now is likely a highland spot in Scotland, such as Aviemore or Braemar, where temperatures can dip 10°C lower.
Will it stay warm tomorrow and this weekend?
If you’re looking for the hottest place in the UK tomorrow, the same southeast bias usually holds, though a shift in wind direction could favour the West Country. For the hottest place in the UK this weekend, watch for any low pressure pushing in from the Atlantic — if it stays away, southern England remains your best bet.

What is the warmest place in the UK today map?
There is no single official map, but the Met Office publishes hourly temperature charts. For a quick view, the live ranking above shows current readings from weather stations across the country, including the warmest and coldest spots.
Is the warmest place in the UK today always in the south?
Almost always. Southern England benefits from higher sun angles and less influence from Atlantic systems. However, on rare occasions, a northerly flow can make northern coastal towns like Bournemouth or even Anglesey the warmest.
What about the warmest place in the UK today in winter?
In winter, the warmest spot is often a coastal location in the southwest, like Plymouth or Newquay, where the sea keeps temperatures milder than the cold, clear inland areas. It rarely exceeds 12°C even on a mild winter day.
