UK Weather

Monday 22nd June Good morning. For Monday, 22 June 2026, it’s a very mixed summer picture across the UK, with heat building in some areas but cooler, greyer conditions further north and west. The warmest weather today is likely across Wales, the Midlands and parts of northern England, where temperatures could reach the high twenties, locally around 30°C. There’ll be some bright or sunny spells, especially earlier on and again through parts of the afternoon, but it will feel rather humid, and a few heavier bursts of rain or sharp showers may develop — particularly across the Midlands, Wales and the south-west. So if you’re heading out, it’s worth keeping the umbrella handy even if the day starts quite promising. Across the south-east, it should feel warm too, with highs around 27°C. There may be a little patchy drizzle or light rain at times, but many places will see decent dry intervals, and any early brightness will help lift the mood before cloud thickens here and there. Northern England has a split feel: some western and central parts look largely dry, warm and bright, with temperatures close to 29°C, while further north and towards eastern coastal areas it will be fresher, with highs nearer the low to mid-twenties and the odd spot of light rain or drizzle. Scotland and Northern Ireland will be cooler and more subdued, with temperatures mostly in the high teens. Expect a fair amount of cloud, a little light rain or drizzle at times, though Northern Ireland may see some brighter breaks later in the day and into the evening. Winds are generally light to moderate, but they’ll be a touch brisker around some southern and western coasts, particularly where showers move through. Overall, it’s a day for layers, sunglasses and perhaps a waterproof — a very British summer combination.
