UK Weather

Tuesday 26th August Good morning, everyone, on this fine Tuesday, 26th of August 2025. We're well into summer, and across the UK, there's some variety in store for us today. Starting off in the south-east, we can expect a splendidly warm day, with temperatures peaking near 26°C. Plenty of sunshine is on the cards, particularly in the afternoon — perfect for those planning to soak up some rays or have a bit of a wander in the parks. Breezes remain gentle, making it a great day for outdoor activities. Moving to the Midlands and northern areas, there's a mix of sun and showers. The Midlands will enjoy a relatively dry day largely, with temperatures reaching around 23°C. In northern England, keep an eye out for some morning showers, particularly around commuting time, but things will brighten up as the afternoon progresses. If you're in the north-east, a bit of wet weather early on, but it should clear up to reveal sunshine later in the day. Wales will have a touch of everything. Warm with highs of 23°C, the occasional light shower isn't entirely out of the question, but it should remain mostly dry, allowing for enjoyable day ventures. Further north in Scotland, it's a bit cooler, with temperatures topping around 21°C, and you might catch a light sprinkle here and there. However, there will be moments of sunshine, particularly as we head into the late hours of the day. Across the Irish Sea in Northern Ireland, it'll be breezy, with rain early in the morning. This should ease as we move into the day, leaving some bright spells behind. If you’re by the coast, it's blustery with the wind gusts being a notable feature, particularly in the south-west, but mostly dry, letting you enjoy coastal walks with a fresh sea breeze. Whatever your plans today, be it catching some sun in the south or keeping a brolly handy up north, there’s room for a bit of everything. Have a splendid day!
