Friday 15th May Good morning. For Friday 15 May 2026, it’s a rather cool spring day across the UK, with temperatures generally sitting between 11 and 13°C — so a jacket will be useful, especially in the breeze. Many areas start rather cloudy, with pockets of light rain or drizzle. Northern England and parts of the north-west see the wettest spell early on, with rain clearing to brighter skies around the middle of the day. The Midlands may also catch some morning rain, but it should ease, with a better chance of late-day brightness. Across Wales and the south-west, it’s mostly a mix of cloud, the odd light shower or drizzle patch, and some brief brighter breaks. Not a washout by any means, but outdoor plans may need a little flexibility. Eastern England looks cloudier and damp at times, with some more persistent light rain possible, while Scotland stays largely dry but cool, with a fair amount of cloud and a fresh feel in the wind. Northern Ireland also has a breezy day, with a few light showers or drizzly spells, though not constant rain. Winds will be noticeable, especially around western and northern coastal areas, but not especially disruptive. Overall, it’s a day of modest temperatures, changeable skies, and gradual improvements in places — worth keeping the brolly nearby, but there should be a few brighter moments to lift the day.

A windy Merseyside waterfront after morning rain, with wet cobbles, brick warehouses, and grey-brown river water catching a brief break of pale midday sun. People in spring coats pass under bare-limbed trees and fresh green leaves, puddles rippling in a cool breeze; photorealistic faded vintage photo, 1970s film grain, no text or watermarks.
