Today's Weather Forecast

Tuesday 13th October Good morning. This Tuesday, 13 October 2026, brings a fairly typical autumn mix across the UK: some rain around, a bit of breeze, but also brighter breaks — especially as the day goes on. Across the south-east and eastern England, it’s one of the milder parts of the country, with highs close to 20°C in places. There may be a little patchy drizzle or light rain, particularly around the middle of the day in the east, but there should also be some pleasant sunny spells by lunchtime and into the afternoon. The Midlands look mostly dry and fairly bright, with only small amounts of rain expected. Temperatures should reach the high teens, and although the breeze will be noticeable, it shouldn’t be too disruptive for most day-to-day plans. For Wales and the south-west, there’s a damp start in some areas, particularly through the morning, but the weather should improve at times with sunshine breaking through. Coastal routes may feel rather blustery, so it’s worth allowing for a bit of spray and gustiness if you’re travelling near the sea. Northern England has a more unsettled feel, especially towards western coastal areas where early rain may be quite persistent for a time. Brighter spells should develop later, but winds will be brisk — strongest towards the north-east coast — so it may feel cooler than the thermometer suggests. Scotland starts wet in parts, with rain around early on, but there should be some brightness returning during the morning. Temperatures will be a little fresher than further south, generally in the mid to high teens, with a lively breeze adding to that autumnal feel. Northern Ireland also sees a wet and windy start in places, with overnight and early morning rain gradually easing. It remains breezy through the day, though there should be drier interludes later. So, in summary: mildest and brightest towards the south and east, more changeable further north and west, and breezy just about everywhere. A light waterproof is a good idea if you’re out and about, but many of us should catch at least a little sunshine before the day is done.

Soft breaks of pale sunlight push through grey clouds, with people in light coats walking calmly by the river. No text or watermarks.
