UK Weather

Saturday 22nd November Good morning and happy Saturday to all tuning in for today’s weather outlook in the UK. As we embrace an autumnal day, there's a fair bit of weather to talk through, with some regions expecting more of a traditional wet and windy affair. Starting in the south-east, do keep your brollies handy. It looks like a rather rainy picture with showers on and off throughout the day. Temperatures will struggle to climb beyond 8°C, so a jacket would certainly come in handy if you're heading out. The brisk breeze could make it feel even cooler, so best to layer up. Moving up to Scotland, it's a chillier start with temperatures just tipping into 8°C as well. Rain this morning will eventually give way to a brighter afternoon. Some sunshine is expected later, offering a pleasant window for an afternoon walk or errand. Over in Wales, the day begins wet, with rain persisting into the morning. A blustery day with gusts might add a fresh edge to your plans. Expect a high around 10°C by the afternoon, so slightly milder than the eastern parts. Heading across to northern Ireland, there’s been some early sunshine, a nice gold patch among the grey. However, showers are possible as you go about your day, alongside a gentle breeze. Still, don’t let that deter your weekend adventures. Northern England is looking at a mixed picture – some early showers, though the late afternoon could present sunnier spells. Make the most of this by planning any outdoor activities accordingly. In the Midlands, a rather unsettled start too, with rain sprinkled throughout the early morning. By lunchtime, conditions should improve, with skies gradually brightening. Temperatures there will peek at around 8°C, so not too nippy. Now, down to the south-west, you’re looking at a mostly rainy morning, especially across coastal areas, with the showers winding down towards the evening. Be prepared for strong gusts of wind throughout the day as well. Overall, today calls for keeping an eye on those gaps in the showers to seize the driest moments. Whether you're in town or countryside, autumn is fully upon us, reminding us all to embrace the charm of changing leaves alongside our weather gear. Whatever you choose to do with your Saturday, have a splendid day!
