UK Weather

Tuesday 30th June Good morning. Today, Tuesday 30 June 2026, brings a fairly mixed summer picture across the UK — some warm, bright spells, but also a few areas of rain and showers to watch. The warmest weather will be across the east and south-east of England, where temperatures could reach the low to mid-20s Celsius. It won’t be wall-to-wall sunshine, with a little drizzle or light rain possible at times, especially later in the day towards eastern coastal areas, but many places should get decent dry intervals. Through the Midlands, it’s looking rather more settled: largely dry, pleasantly warm, and not too blustery, with highs around 21°C. A good day here for getting out and about without too much weather disruption. Further west, Wales and the south-west will feel a touch fresher, with temperatures mostly in the high teens. There may be some patchy rain, particularly into the afternoon across parts of Wales, and coastal areas could feel breezier, so worth keeping a light waterproof handy if you’re heading out later. Northern England will see a mix of cloud, brighter breaks and showers. The wettest weather is more likely later in the day, especially into the evening, so travel after work could be a little damp in places. Temperatures should sit around 19 or 20°C. Scotland starts rather unsettled, with some heavy showers or longer spells of rain in central and eastern areas during the morning. It’ll feel cool for late June, with highs only around the mid-teens, though conditions may ease a little as the day goes on. Northern Ireland also has a wet start, with some persistent rain early on and totals building up in places. It should gradually improve later, but roads may be spray-prone for the morning rush, so allow a bit of extra time. Overall, it’s a day of regional contrasts: warmest and driest towards the east and Midlands, wetter and cooler further north and west, with a few showers drifting around into the evening.
