Thursday 4th September Good morning and welcome to your national weather forecast on this brisk autumn Thursday, the 4th of September 2025. As we settle further into the season, we're seeing quite a mix across the regions today. Let's begin in the south-east, where temperatures will hover just below 20 degrees Celsius. It started off rather wet this morning, but we're expecting that rain to ease as we head into the afternoon, paving the way for a mild and breezy evening. If you have evening plans, things should be looking up. Moving westwards to Wales, a similar story with a wet start to the day. Light showers early on should clear up, making way for drier periods in the latter part of the afternoon. Do keep a gusty breeze in mind, especially if you're heading out for a walk. As for northern England, it’s a bit of a cloudier and wetter affair today. Steady showers are expected to linger through much of the day, especially around Manchester, so do keep your brolly handy if you're venturing out. The winds are gentle, so they shouldn't add much to the inconvenience. In the Midlands, we're starting the day under cloudy skies with the occasional rain shower. These early showers are expected to give way to clearer weather later in the day, with some sunshine peeking through towards the evening, offering a brighter end to the day. Scotland is treating us to a dry day, especially further north. After a rather crisp start, expect pleasantly dry conditions with some sunshine sneaking through in the evening, perfect if you're planning an outdoor activity before the end of the day. To wrap things up in the south-west, it's another wet day from earlier showers continuing into the afternoon. The good news is things should quiet down towards night as the rain drifts away. The breeze here might be more noticeable around the coast, so do dress accordingly if you're near the water. Across the country, the theme is a rather typical autumnal mix, with conditions improving in many places as we move into the evening. Do keep an eye out for those rain spells scattered about, and as always, a bit of autumn sunshine might well make an appearance later on. That's all from the weather desk today. Keep smiling, and enjoy autumn's changing palette!
