Tuesday 4th August Good morning. It’s Tuesday, 4 August 2026, and it’s a fairly warm summer day for much of the UK, though not everywhere will stay completely dry. Across the Midlands, the south and the south-east, it’s looking largely settled and warm, with temperatures climbing into the mid-20s Celsius. There may be some cloud at times, but many inland areas should stay dry, with a rather humid feel by the afternoon. Further north and west, especially across northern England and parts of the north-west, the day starts a bit more unsettled. Outbreaks of rain are likely during the morning, enough to make roads damp for the commute, though totals look fairly modest. Conditions should gradually improve later, with brighter skies returning towards the evening. Wales and the south-west should see a mixture of cloud and brighter spells, with coastal areas feeling a touch fresher in the breeze. Winds will be noticeable at times, particularly in western and northern areas, but nothing especially disruptive. For Scotland, expect a more variable day overall, with cloudier skies at times and the best of any brightness likely later on, especially away from exposed western coasts. Temperatures range from the low 20s in the north-west to around 26°C across central and southern parts, so it’ll feel pleasantly warm where the sun breaks through. If you’re heading out this morning in the north-west, a waterproof may be useful, but for many others it’s a day for lighter layers and perhaps some sun protection during brighter afternoon spells.
