Pack a light waterproof jacket and plan indoor alternatives for the afternoon, as a band of rain will push east across the UK. The live conditions above show the current cloud and rainfall, with brighter spells arriving from the west later.
What will the weather be like today across the UK?
A weak weather front will bring cloud and patchy rain to most regions this morning, heaviest across Wales, the Midlands and northern England. By early afternoon, drier and brighter conditions will follow into Northern Ireland, western Scotland and the south-west, reaching weather london and the south-east by late evening. Temperatures will be mild for the season, ranging from 11°C in weather york to 15°C in weather slough. Coastal areas such as weather skegness will stay breezy, while weather birmingham and weather cranfield can expect the cloudiest skies.
Is it a good day for travel or outdoor plans?
Morning travel will be damp across the M4 corridor and the Midlands, but conditions improve for afternoon journeys. The best of the sunshine today will be in the west, making it a decent day for a walk in the Lake District or a trip to weather canary wharf after 3pm if you don’t mind a grey start. If you are heading to the coast, expect stronger winds and a chill in the air.
What should I pack today?
A layered approach works best: a light jumper or fleece under a waterproof jacket, plus comfortable walking shoes. Sunglasses might be useful later in the west, but keep an umbrella handy for the morning. The UV index is low, so sun cream is unnecessary.
Will it rain all day in London?
No. The rain will clear London by mid-afternoon, leaving a largely dry evening. The morning will be damp and overcast, but you can expect brighter spells after 4pm. Keep a brolly for the commute.
Is the weekend looking better for the UK?
Yes, a ridge of high pressure builds from Saturday, bringing drier and sunnier weather to most areas. Temperatures will rise slightly, reaching 17°C in the south. Check the 10 Day Weather Forecast UK for your location.
Are there any weather warnings today?
No official warnings are in force today. The rain is not heavy enough to cause flooding, though localised surface water is possible on untreated roads in the Midlands. See the Moderate Rainfall Warning page for updates.
