Thursday 28th May Good morning. This Thursday, 28 May 2026, brings a very warm spring day for many, with a real taste of early summer in parts of England and Wales. The hottest conditions will be across the south-east and parts of the Midlands, where temperatures could climb close to 30°C. There’ll be plenty of dry weather here, though the Midlands may start with some early rain or heavy showers before things improve. If you’re heading out early, roads could be damp in places, but it should feel much brighter and warmer later on. Wales will also be warm and largely dry, with highs in the upper twenties, though a noticeable breeze may take the edge off a little, especially in exposed spots. The south-west looks fresher, particularly near the coast, but there should be some pleasant sunshine developing into the afternoon. Across northern England, it’s a more mixed picture. Western areas may see some rain early on, followed by brighter spells, while further north and east it will be cooler with the odd patch of light rain or drizzle. Temperatures here will generally sit in the high teens to low twenties, so still decent enough, but not as hot as further south. Scotland has a mainly dry and settled day, with sunny spells at times and highs around 20°C in central areas. Northern Ireland will be breezier, with a little light rain or drizzle possible, though there should be some brighter breaks as the day goes on. Overall, it’s a warm to hot day for much of the UK, but with a few early showers in central and northern areas and a brisk breeze in the west. If you’re out in the stronger sunshine, especially across the south and Midlands, it’s worth keeping the sun cream and water bottle close by.
