UK Weather

Friday 19th June Good morning. It’s Friday, 19 June 2026, and summer is certainly making itself felt for some — though not everywhere is sharing the same story. The warmest and driest weather today will be across the south-east and eastern England, where temperatures climb close to 30°C in places. There should be plenty of dry weather and bright spells, so it’ll feel quite hot by the afternoon, especially away from the coast. If you’re out and about, it’s a day for sunscreen, water and a bit of shade when you can find it. Across the Midlands, it’s warm too, with highs around the mid-20s and largely dry conditions. There may be a little cloud at times, but overall it’s a usable summer’s day for outdoor plans. Further north, northern England will also see some warmth, though it turns a little more unsettled later. Western and north-eastern areas could catch showers or spells of rain from late afternoon into the evening, and the breeze will be more noticeable here — enough to make exposed routes and coastal spots feel a touch fresher. Wales looks mostly dry with just the odd bit of light drizzle possible, and temperatures sitting in the low 20s. The south-west of England will be cooler, especially near the coast, with a more subdued feel and highs closer to the upper teens. Scotland has a fresher day overall, with temperatures nearer 20°C and some rain developing, particularly later in the day. It’ll also be breezy, so not the calmest of summer Fridays. Northern Ireland sees the wettest start, with rain around during the early morning and a rather damp feel for a time. Conditions should improve at least a little as the day goes on, but it stays on the cooler side compared with the south and east of Britain. So, in short: hot and dry in the south-east and east, warm but a bit more changeable through central and northern areas, cooler in the south-west and Scotland, and a wet start for Northern Ireland.
