Live forecasts update automatically; written guidance last reviewed 20 June 2026 by the Media Grid UK weather desk. Data from national met services via Open-Meteo.
For your current location, the live forecast above shows the next few hours at a glance; treat any persistent heavy rain as a signal to check the Met Office weather warnings for your area before heading out.
What should I expect from the weather today?
The near-surface temperature and wind speed shown in the live forecast above indicate the immediate outdoor feel. A sharp drop in pressure often precedes a wet spell, while a rising barometer typically signals clearing skies. If the live data shows gusts above 30 mph, secure loose garden furniture and take care on exposed roads.
When is the best time for outdoor plans today?
Compare the morning and afternoon temperature range in the live forecast. The warmest part of the day usually arrives between 12:00 and 15:00 BST, but if the wind direction shifts to a northerly, it will feel noticeably cooler than the actual air temperature suggests. Check the UK weather hub for regional trends.
FAQ
Why does the live forecast differ from the met office weather app?
Local weather stations update every few minutes, while official Met Office models refresh hourly. The live forecast above shows real-time readings; the Met Office data provides an averaged outlook for the whole postcode area.
How reliable is the bbc weather my location live feed?
Very reliable for the next 1–2 hours. It uses radar and automated station data. For planning beyond today, cross-reference with the 10 Day Weather Forecast UK page on this site.
Should I cancel my walk if the rain probability is 60%?
Not necessarily. 60% means a 6-in-10 chance of measurable rain at your location within that window. A short, local walk is fine with a waterproof jacket; a long hike may be better postponed.
