Tuesday 31st March Good morning and welcome to a fresh Tuesday across the UK on this 31st of March, 2026. Spring is very much in evidence today and we have a mix of conditions to talk about. Starting with the south-west, it's looking rather pleasant over here. The coastal areas in this part of the country will enjoy a fair amount of sunshine through the afternoon and evening, with temperatures peaking at a warm 15.5 degrees Celsius. A lovely day for a coastal walk or perhaps a garden potter, with no rain expected to disrupt your plans. Moving across to Wales, expect a similar picture, with sunshine breaking through particularly in the early morning and picking up again as we approach the evening. With temperatures also reaching around 15.5 degrees Celsius, it’s set to be quite a delightful spring day here. The Midlands will see a mix of sunny spells and occasional light showers, with temperatures nudging towards a comfortable 14.6 degrees. There might be a spot of rain, so keep a brolly handy just in case. However, brighter skies are on the horizon late afternoon into the evening. In northern England, many will see dry and slightly breezy conditions. Newcastle will be free from rain, making it a good day to be outside, particularly as the sun peeks through later in the day. Further west, in places, there might be a brief shower or two, but nothing to outstay its welcome. Scotland and Northern Ireland aren't too dissimilar. Brief drizzle could touch down in some parts, but mostly it’s an overcast affair today. Belfast will linger around 13.6 degrees, so hold onto those layers despite the milder feel. Heading over to the south-east, conditions here will be slightly cooler with temperatures hovering around 13 degrees. Some light rain could make an appearance, likely in the afternoon, so those venturing out should consider a light jacket or umbrella. Overall, a day of relative calm and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, especially if you’re on the lookout for those fleeting moments of sunshine. Have a great day, and keep your hopes high for more sunshine tomorrow!
