Sunday 1st February Good morning, and welcome to your nationwide weather update on this Sunday, the 1st of February. As we move deeper into winter, let’s have a look at what today has in store. Starting in the south-east, it’s a milder day overall with temperatures climbing to around 9°C. Expect a bit of rain to make an appearance by mid-morning, so you might want to keep the brolly handy if you head out early. Swinging over to the south-west, it's a tad warmer, peaking at just over 10°C, but it's set to be rather breezy. Early risers may encounter some rain, particularly during the wee hours, so watch out for puddles on those morning walks. Meanwhile, the Midlands see a similar mildness with a chance of rain mid-afternoon. Over in Wales, high temperatures reach 9°C, and while there’s a threat of rain, things should brighten up nicely later in the afternoon. Definitely a fine time for a stroll as the day progresses. Turning to the north of England, expect a cooler day with temperatures hovering around 7 to 8°C. Umbrellas will be a necessity, particularly in the late afternoon as scattered showers are likely to sweep in. Coastal areas up towards northern England may experience early morning rain, so some caution is advised for your morning commute. In Scotland, expect a cold start to the day with a high of 7°C, but thankfully it’s relatively dry with just a touch of drizzle in parts. As we move west to Northern Ireland, a slightly wetter outlook with some morning rain, making for a damp start to the day. Despite this, temperatures remain moderate. Wherever you are, it might be a day for some hearty indoor activities — perhaps curling up with a good book or enjoying a warm cuppa as those showers pass through. That’s your weather update. Stay cosy, and have a wonderful Sunday.
