Saturday 1st August Good morning. For Saturday, 1 August 2026, it’s a fairly mixed but very usable summer day across the UK, with many places staying dry and temperatures generally in the high teens to low twenties. The warmest and brightest conditions are likely across eastern England, the Midlands and parts of the south-east, where it should feel pleasantly summery with highs around 22 or 23°C. Early sunshine is likely in some eastern areas, with a dry day overall and just a bit of cloud coming and going. Across the south-west and Wales, it’s also looking mostly dry, with temperatures around 20 or 21°C. Coastal spots may feel a little fresher in the breeze, but for outdoor plans it’s a decent day, especially where the cloud breaks. Northern England has more variation. The north-east should stay largely dry, though it will feel cooler and breezier, with highs nearer 18°C and winds more noticeable, particularly near coasts and higher ground. Further west, there’s a chance of some morning rain or drizzle, especially around the north-west, before things gradually improve later on. A few brighter spells may develop towards the evening. Northern Ireland looks mainly dry and settled, with a bright start in places and highs close to 20°C — not scorching, but comfortable enough for getting out and about. So, in short: a dry and reasonably warm summer Saturday for many, brightest towards the east and Midlands, a little damp early on in parts of the north-west, and breezier, cooler conditions across northern and some coastal areas. Keep a light layer handy if you’re out into the evening, but for most, the weather should play along quite nicely.
