UK Weather

Monday 3rd August Good morning. This Monday, 3 August 2026, brings a distinctly summery feel for much of the UK, though not everywhere will see the same kind of day. The warmest conditions are likely across the Midlands and parts of northern England, where temperatures could climb into the high 20s or even around 30°C. There should be some bright or sunny spells, especially early on, but the air may feel a little close at times, so it’s worth keeping water handy if you’re out and about. Further east, it looks dry and pleasantly warm, with early sunshine giving a fine start to the day. Temperatures here should sit in the mid-20s, and with only a moderate breeze it should feel comfortable rather than overly hot. Across the south-west and some western coastal areas, there may be a little light drizzle or patchy dampness at times, though amounts look small. It won’t be a washout by any means, and there should still be usable dry spells, particularly if you’re planning to be outdoors. Northern England has a mixed picture: eastern areas looking cooler and breezier, with brighter spells developing around the middle of the day, while further west it stays warmer but with a greater chance of some showery or drizzly rain. Roads could be a touch greasy where showers pass through, especially after a dry spell. For Wales and Scotland, expect a broadly changeable summer day, with the best of any brightness likely away from thicker cloud and western-facing coasts. Breezes will be noticeable in places, particularly further north and near exposed coasts. Overall, it’s a warm summer Monday for many, hottest through central parts, fresher towards the north-east, and a little more unsettled in the west. Not a bad day for outdoor plans, but in western areas it’s worth taking a light waterproof just in case.
