Keep a coat handy across much of the UK today, as a brisk northwesterly flow brings a mixture of sunny spells and sharp showers, particularly affecting northern and western regions. The south and east will see the best of any drier, brighter conditions.
What is the weather like across the UK this morning?
As you can see from the live conditions above, it’s a classic “four seasons in one day” setup. Showers tracking south-eastwards will be heavy at times in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the north-west of England, with hail and thunder possible near western coasts. Central and eastern England, plus parts of the Midlands, will start dry and bright. A fresh wind makes it feel cooler than the actual temperature, especially on exposed coasts.
Will the weather improve later this week?
A weak ridge of high pressure will build from the south-west on Wednesday and Thursday, giving a quieter interlude with lighter winds and more widespread sunshine. However, another Atlantic front will approach by Friday, bringing thicker cloud and rain across Northern Ireland and western Scotland.
Will it rain across the East Midlands today?
Most of the East Midlands will stay dry with bright spells this morning. However, a few light showers may drift in from the north-west during the afternoon, but they should be isolated and brief.
Where is the warmest place in the UK today?
The warmest spot is likely to be near the south coast or in sheltered parts of the warmest place in UK today – expect highs around 14°C in the London area, though it will feel cooler in the breeze.
Is there a weather warning in force?
No formal warnings are currently active from the Met Office. But keep an eye on the UK weather radar for localised downpours in the north-west, which could be heavy enough to cause temporary surface water on roads.
