Sunday 23rd August Good morning. This Sunday, 23 August 2026, brings a largely dry and pleasant summer’s day across the UK, with sunny spells for many and only modest winds. Across the south-east, it should feel warmest, with temperatures reaching the low to mid-twenties by the afternoon. There’ll be a fair amount of brightness around, especially late morning and again into the evening, so a decent day for outdoor plans. Wales and the south-west also look dry and fairly warm, generally around 22 or 23°C. Coastal areas in the south-west may feel a touch breezier, but still with some lovely sunny breaks developing later in the day. Through the Midlands, it’s a bright and settled picture too, with highs around 22°C and a gentle breeze. Northern England will be a little fresher, mostly around 19 or 20°C, with sunny intervals at times — particularly towards the middle and later part of the day in some western and north-eastern areas. Scotland stays dry as well, with a cooler feel compared with the south, highs near 19°C and light winds. Northern Ireland will be cooler still, closer to 18°C, but with dry weather and some evening brightness to round off the day. So, no rain to worry about for most travel or outdoor events, and although it won’t be hot everywhere, it’s a comfortable, settled summer Sunday with plenty of usable weather.
