Monday 16th February Good morning, and welcome to your Monday weather update, it’s the 16th of February, 2026 — and as you'd expect for a wintry day here in the UK, we've got a typical mixed bag on offer. Starting in the south, we're looking at somewhat mild conditions today, with temperatures reaching around 9°C. A fairly breezy day, though not much rain to speak of, so outdoor plans shouldn’t be too disrupted. As we move westward into Wales, you might want to keep an umbrella handy — rain is expected in the early hours, so roads could be a tad slippery for the morning commute. The wind is picking up here, making for a brisk kind of winter's day. Heading over to northern England, while Manchester and Newcastle are staying dry with some chilly warmth from the sun trying to make an appearance, Liverpool's set for a damp start with rain tailing off by afternoon, allowing a bit of sunshine to break through and brighten the day. Central areas, including the Midlands, will see a predominantly dry day, with just the odd spot of rain. Nothing too taxing for the daily routine, and the winds will be moderate enough not to cause many troubles. Scotland sees a rather fine winter's day, with Edinburgh enjoying a crisp but predominantly dry affair and a touch of sunshine late in the evening to wrap up your Monday. The winds remain light, making those daytime strolls quite pleasant. Across to Northern Ireland, a fresh day for Belfast with some sunshine breaking through earlier on and just a bit of rain on the horizon. The winds are moderate, so it adds a touch of liveliness to your day without being too disruptive. Don't let the layers hold you back today – though it’s winter, conditions are largely manageable for most day-to-day activities. Whatever your plans, I hope the weather is kind to you, and here’s to hoping for more sun than rain this Monday.
