Today's Weather Forecast

Wednesday 9th September Good morning. On this Wednesday, 9 September 2026, it’s a fairly typical early-autumn day across the UK: generally cool to mild, often cloudy, with a few brighter breaks and some patchy rain or drizzle in places. The driest and most settled conditions are likely across the south-east, Wales and much of Scotland, where many areas stay dry through the day. There will be a good deal of cloud around, but a little sunshine should break through at times, especially during the morning in parts of Scotland and later on towards the south-west. Across northern England, the Midlands and some eastern coastal areas, expect more in the way of dampness at times. It’s not a washout, but there will be patchy drizzle or light rain here and there, enough to make pavements and roads a bit greasy for the commute. The north-west looks wettest and breeziest, with outbreaks of rain early in the day and winds feeling quite brisk, particularly near exposed coasts. Temperatures are modest for September: highs mostly between 16 and 19°C, with the mildest conditions in the south and south-west. Further north, it will feel cooler, especially where cloud, breeze and drizzle linger. Through the afternoon, some places should turn a little brighter, particularly towards the south-west and later across parts of the north-west, though it may take a while for the grey skies to lift. For most outdoor plans, it’s a day to keep a light waterproof handy rather than cancel anything outright — and if you’re heading out early, an extra layer won’t go amiss.

Wet paving stones glisten beside brick warehouses and railings, shallow puddles reflecting the sky as a few pedestrians in coats move through the mild breeze.
