UK Weather

Friday 14th August Good morning. For Friday 14 August, it’s a warm and rather humid summer’s day for many parts of the UK, with plenty of dry weather around, though not everywhere will see wall-to-wall sunshine. Across the south-west, there’ll be some bright spells, especially through the morning and around lunchtime, but also the chance of a little patchy drizzle at times. It won’t amount to much, but it may just make surfaces briefly damp. Temperatures here will still climb well into the high twenties, so it’ll feel quite warm despite the odd greyer moment. Through the Midlands and much of central England, it’s a hot, dry day, with temperatures close to 30°C in places. Skies may often be rather cloudy or hazy, but there should still be some brightness breaking through. If you’re out and about, it’s one for water, shade and lighter clothing, particularly during the afternoon. Northern England has a bit of a split feel. Eastern areas look warm and dry, with highs in the mid-twenties and a moderate breeze helping to take the edge off the heat. Further west and around some coastal areas, it’s cooler, nearer the low twenties, but still largely dry. The breeze may be noticeable at times, especially near the Irish Sea. For Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, the broader picture is a mix of cloud and some sunny intervals, with the best of any warmth likely away from exposed coasts. Western coastal areas may feel fresher in the breeze, while inland spots should be pleasantly warm. Overall, it’s a mostly dry summer Friday, warm or hot for many, with only a little nuisance drizzle in the south-west. Outdoor plans should be in good shape, though it may feel close and muggy at times, particularly across central and southern parts.
