Thursday 30th July Good morning. This Thursday, 30 July 2026, is bringing a fairly modest summer feel across the UK, with temperatures generally in the high teens to low twenties rather than anything especially hot. Across the south-west, it’s a mixed picture: some brighter spells are possible, but cloud will tend to build and there may be a little rain or drizzle around by the afternoon. Not a washout, but worth keeping a light waterproof handy if you’re out and about. For the Midlands, it should be largely dry, with temperatures around 20 or 21°C. There may be a fair amount of cloud at times, but conditions look usable for outdoor plans, with only a light to moderate breeze. Northern England also stays on the cooler side for late July, with highs closer to 19°C in places. The north-east looks mainly dry and occasionally bright, though it may feel breezy, especially in more exposed spots and along the coast. Further west, there could be some patchy rain during the morning before brighter conditions develop into the afternoon. Winds are not especially disruptive for most, but they will be noticeable in northern and coastal areas, adding a fresher edge to the day. Overall, it’s a changeable but manageable summer Thursday: plenty of dry weather around, a few damp interludes in the west, and the best of any sunshine likely appearing in breaks rather than lasting all day.
