Friday 7th August Good morning. This Friday, 7 August 2026, brings a largely settled summer feel across the UK, with dry conditions the main theme and some pleasant spells of sunshine to lift the day. Across the Midlands and central parts of England, it should feel quite comfortable by the afternoon, with temperatures rising into the low twenties — around 22 or 23°C in the warmest spots. After a cooler start, any early cloud should allow for brighter intervals, making it a decent day for getting out and about. Further north and towards western coastal areas, it will be a little fresher, with highs closer to 19°C. There’ll still be some sunny breaks, particularly later in the day, but the breeze may make it feel slightly cooler at times, especially near exposed coasts. For Wales, northern England and much of Scotland, the overall picture is fairly calm and usable: dry for most, with variable cloud and occasional brightness. Winds are generally light to moderate, so travel conditions should be straightforward, and there’s no significant rain to worry about. So, a pleasant summer Friday for many — not scorching, but dry, bright in places, and well suited to outdoor plans, especially with an extra layer handy in the cooler west and north.
