Today’s UK weather brings a mix of cloud and sunny spells, with rain pushing into western areas by afternoon – see the live conditions above for your region.
What’s the outlook for the rest of the day?
A band of rain crosses Northern Ireland and western Scotland through the afternoon, while southern and eastern England stay dry with brighter intervals. Temperatures reach 10–14 °C, mildest in the southeast. The 10 day weather forecast shows a drier weekend for many, but western hills keep a chance of showers.
Are there any weather warnings?
A yellow warning for rain is in force for parts of western Scotland until this evening. Localised flooding and difficult driving conditions are possible. Check the moderate rainfall warning page for the latest updates.
Where is the warmest place in the UK today?
South-east England likely tops the charts – see our warmest place in the UK today page for real-time readings.
Will the rain affect travel?
Showers could cause localised flooding on roads in western Scotland, particularly during rush hour. Allow extra time if driving through warning areas, and check the weather radar for live rain intensity.
When will the rain clear?
The band of rain clears western areas overnight, leaving a mostly dry Saturday for many – though a few showers may linger in the far north-west early on.
Is it warm enough for outdoor plans?
Mild in the south with highs of 14 °C, but take a jacket if you’re in the west or north – gusts and drizzle will make it feel cooler. The UK weather hub has hourly details.
