Across the UK today, temperatures range from 12°C to 16°C with widespread cloud and intermittent drizzle, especially in the west and north. Breezy conditions make it feel cooler, particularly near coasts.

What is the weather like across the UK right now?

Based on the live conditions above, most of England and Wales are under grey skies, with the heaviest rain currently affecting the Midlands and northern England. In weather London and weather Birmingham, light rain is falling, while weather York and weather Slough report dry but overcast conditions. Coastal areas such as weather Skegness are seeing moderate breezes. The best of any brightness is limited to south-east England, though even there cloud dominates.

Will the rain clear later?

A slow-moving front means rain will persist through the afternoon across northern and western regions, including weather Cranfield and weather Canary Wharf. By evening, most rain should become light and patchy, but a few spots of drizzle remain overnight. Winds strengthen in the north, gusting to 25 mph near exposed coasts.

Temp Range12°C–16°C (lowest in Scotland, highest in SE)
Wind Speed15–25 mph south-westerly, gusting to 30 mph
Rain Probability70–90% in west and north, 30–40% in east
UV IndexLow (1–2) across all regions
How accurate is the 10-day forecast for UK weather?

Short-range forecasts (1–3 days) from the Met Office are typically 85–90% accurate, while 10-day outlooks drop to about 60–70% due to atmospheric variability. Always cross-check with Met Office updates before making plans.

When will the rain stop in my area?

Rain should ease by early evening across most of England, but western Scotland and Northern Ireland may see light showers until midnight. Check the Weather Radar UK for real-time movement and intensity.

Is it safe to travel in windy conditions?

Gusts up to 30 mph are manageable for most vehicles, but high-sided vans and caravans should take care on exposed routes like the M62 and A66. Stay updated via Moderate Rainfall Warning regions for any localised flooding.
