UK Weather

Wednesday 3rd September Good morning, everyone. It's Wednesday, the 3rd of September 2025, and as we settle into autumn, let's take a look at what the weather holds across the UK today. Starting in the south-east, it's a rather soggy morning. You might want to pack a brolly if you're heading out, as showers will persist from the early hours. Despite the rain, temperatures will climb to a mild 21°C, and we should see the wet weather easing as we move into the afternoon. Over in Wales, it's a similarly damp start, with heavier bursts of rain expected early in the morning. If you're commuting or have outdoor plans, be ready for a brisk breeze and rain jackets will certainly come in handy. The rain should ease somewhat as the day wears on, allowing for some brighter spells later. In northern England, do brace for a wet start particularly around Newcastle with showers lingering throughout the early morning. There will be some breaks in the cloud by mid-afternoon, but it’s staying cooler up here with highs of just around 17°C. The Midlands and northern areas like Manchester and Liverpool will also see morning showers, though these are lighter and should become more intermittent as we progress through the day. Temperatures hover around 19°C, offering a touch of warmth if you manage to catch a few sunbeams between the clouds. Scotland will experience a mix of conditions. Eastern parts could enjoy a bright start with some sunny spells before rain moves in by mid-morning; inland winds are gentle, adding a slight chill to the air as you head out. And finally, to the south-west, it’s quite the autumnal affair with some blustery winds adding to the wet weather. It's a good day for staying cosy indoors if you can. Heavy rain will taper off towards late afternoon, but the brisk winds persist, making it feel cooler than it actually is. That's your lot for today! Remember to keep your raincoats handy and plan accordingly. Have a great day, and stay safe on those roads if you're travelling.
