Today's Weather Forecast

Friday 28th August Good morning. For Friday, 28 August 2026, it’s a rather mixed summer picture across the UK, with some brightness around but also a fair few showers to dodge. The warmest and driest conditions are likely across the south-east and parts of eastern England, where temperatures should reach the low to mid-20s. There’ll be some decent bright spells, though cloud will bubble up at times and a little light rain or drizzle can’t be ruled out later in the day, especially towards the east. Across Wales and the south-west, expect a breezy feel, particularly around exposed coasts, with temperatures around 20 or 21°C. There should be some brighter breaks, but a few showers may develop into the afternoon, so it’s worth keeping a waterproof handy if you’re heading out. For the Midlands and northern England, it’s a cooler, cloudier day overall, with highs mostly between 18 and 21°C. Showers are likely to become more noticeable during the afternoon, locally turning quite sharp for a time, before conditions begin to ease later on with some late brightness possible. Scotland starts damp in places, especially across central and eastern areas, with further rain at times around midday. Temperatures here will be a little more subdued, generally around 19°C, though winds are not especially strong, so it shouldn’t feel too rough away from the rain. Northern Ireland sees the wettest conditions of the day, with outbreaks of rain, some persistent and occasionally heavy, particularly early on. Despite that, it stays relatively mild, with highs around 22°C where the cloud thins. Winds will be moderate for many, a bit brisk around western and southern coasts, so umbrellas may be slightly troublesome at times. Overall, it’s a day for flexible plans: some useful dry and bright windows, but keep an eye on the sky if you’re travelling or spending much time outdoors.
