Check the live conditions above for your area, then plan around a largely unsettled pattern with rain bands moving east and brighter spells following behind. The mix of showers and drier interludes is typical for this time of year.
What is the UK weather doing today?
A low-pressure system sitting to the north-west is driving a series of fronts across the country. This means a wet start for many western and central areas, including parts of the uk weather london region, with rain gradually pushing east through the morning. Brighter, showery conditions follow from the west by the afternoon, with the best of any sunshine in Northern Ireland and western Scotland. Winds will be moderate, so no major disruption is expected, but keep an eye on the uk weather bbc forecast for local detail.
How does the pressure pattern affect the outlook?
The current setup keeps things changeable rather than extreme. As the low drifts north-east, a ridge of higher pressure builds briefly from the south-west later today, giving a drier spell for southern England and Wales by evening. This pattern is reflected on the uk weather map, where isobars are fairly widely spaced, meaning no gales. For a longer view, the uk weather forecast 14 days suggests a return to more unsettled conditions next week, so make the most of any dry windows.
Will the rain last all day?
No. Rain clears east by early afternoon for most, leaving scattered showers. The uk weather map 7 days shows a similar pattern tomorrow, with a brief drier interlude before more rain arrives midweek.
Is it safe to travel today?
Yes, roads are generally fine, but allow extra time on wet routes. Check the uk weather map 10 days for any developing warnings, though none are in force today.
What about the warmest place in the UK today?
Likely the south-east, where any cloud breaks allow temperatures to reach 13°C. For the warmest place uk today, see our dedicated page for daily rankings.
