Tuesday 13th January Good morning, Britain. It's Tuesday, the 13th of January, 2026, and winter has its firm grip over the UK today, bringing a mixed bag of weather. Let's start in the south-east, where you’ll find a rather wet start. London is expecting bursts of rain throughout the morning, so brollies at the ready if you're heading out. Temperatures are mild for this time of year, peaking around 11°C, but the persistent drizzle may make it feel a wee bit cooler. Shifting over to Wales, you’ll encounter some showers during the morning hours, particularly around Cardiff. This damp start will gradually clear up as we head towards midday, while temperatures hover around a cool 10°C. Across northern England, places like Manchester and Newcastle are in for sporadic rain through late morning and early afternoon. Though it won't be a washout, keep an eye out for short-lived bursts of rain. Expect temperatures in the region of 8°C. By evening, Newcastle should see some breaks in the cloud, bringing a touch of sunshine before dusk. Over to the Midlands, it’s largely dry with the occasional sunny spell forecast for Birmingham as we move into the evening. Elsewhere in central areas, the rain will be fairly limited, providing a relatively calm day weather-wise. Up in Scotland, across regions including central Scotland, you can expect a cleaner picture. Edinburgh is set to see a rather bright afternoon, with sunshine breaking through after midday, lifting temperatures to around 7°C. Heading west to Northern Ireland, a similar story unfolds. Belfast could enjoy some sunny interludes late in the morning, with a high just shy of 8°C. A gentle breeze will provide a crispness to the air. Down in the south-west, those along the coast might see rainfall picking up during the early morning, especially around Plymouth. The dampness may linger till late morning before giving way to clearer skies and mild conditions through the latter parts of the day. Across each region, the underlying theme is relatively mild temperatures with quite a bit of wetness in the south and the potential for brighter periods further north. A mixed but manageable winter day across the UK — just remember to keep your rain gear handy if you're in those wetter parts. Enjoy your Tuesday, whatever the weather brings!
