Today's Weather Forecast

Saturday 4th July Good morning. This Saturday, 4 July 2026, brings a fairly typical slice of British summer: warm and dry for many in England, but cooler, cloudier and breezier further north and west. The warmest conditions will be across the south-east, where temperatures could reach around 27°C with a dry day and some brightness coming through. Eastern England should also do well, feeling pleasantly warm into the mid-20s, while the Midlands stays largely dry with highs in the low 20s. Further south-west, it’s a decent summer’s day too — mostly dry, with brighter spells developing into the afternoon, so not bad at all for outdoor plans. Wales looks a touch cloudier at times, with the odd spot of light rain or drizzle possible, but many places will still get away with a mainly dry day. Across northern England, temperatures sit closer to 20 or 21°C. Western areas should stay mostly dry, though breezy, while the north-east may see some light rain or drizzle at times, accompanied by brisk winds — noticeable if you’re heading to the coast or travelling on exposed routes. Scotland has a cooler, greyer feel, with highs nearer 18°C and some patchy light rain or drizzle, especially where cloud lingers. Winds will be quite fresh here too, so it may feel a little less summery than the thermometer suggests. Northern Ireland is similar: mild rather than warm, with a little dampness in the air and a breeze, though not a washout by any means. Overall, the best of the warmth and driest weather is across southern, central and eastern England, while the north and west see more cloud, a few drizzly patches and a noticeable breeze. If you’re out and about, sunglasses for the south, a light waterproof further north and west — and perhaps a layer for the wind — should cover most bases.

AI Prompt Used to Generate This Image: Photorealistic matte painting for a fantasy film backdrop: a breezy Northumberland coastal village in mild summer drizzle, with stone cottages, wet harbour walls, and fishing boats rocking gently under pale grey skies. Soft light breaks through thin cloud over grassy headlands, while puddles and wind-tossed grasses reflect the cool, unsettled afternoon.
