Wednesday 7th January Good morning! It's Wednesday, the 7th of January, 2026, and we’re deep into winter across the UK. Let's take a look at what’s in store for us weather-wise today. Starting in the south-east, temperatures will hover around 5 degrees, but keep your brolly handy, as there's persistent rain expected throughout the early hours. This trend continues into East Anglia as well, where brisk winds may add a chill to the air. Heading into the Midlands, any rain will be relatively scarce today, offering a dry but rather cold day, with temperatures peaking at 5 degrees. Northern England shares a similar story — dry, with cool conditions, though it will just about stay above freezing in the morning hours. The winds here should stay light to moderate. Wales enjoys slightly milder weather, especially in the western parts, with the mercury climbing to around 7 degrees. The day will remain mostly dry with just a touch of rain early on but quickly clearing up, leaving brighter skies for most. In Northern Ireland, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. Temperatures reach roughly 6 degrees, with gustier winds touching nearly 40 km/h at times. After an initial bright start, clouds and scattered showers will take over. If you're planning any outdoor outings, don't linger too long without a waterproof. Scotland, particularly in central and southern parts, will remain chilly — temperatures struggling just above freezing. It does promise to be dry, however, with light breezes throughout the day. Lastly, along the south-west and coastal regions, expect the most comfortable temperatures today, almost reaching 10 degrees. Despite some early sunshine, clouds will roll in, bringing some light rain by the afternoon. Wherever you are, remember to wrap up warm as we continue to embrace the depths of winter. And as always, travel safely under ever-changing skies. Enjoy your day!

In a charming miniature recreation of a Yorkshire village, stone terraced houses line a narrow cobbled street, their roofs dusted with a faint frost under a pale winter sky. The scene captures the crispness of a chilly morning, with bare-branched trees swaying gently in the brisk breeze, their shadows casting delicate patterns on the ground. A small stream meanders through the village, its surface rippling slightly, reflecting the muted light of a sun struggling to break through the thin cloud cover.
