Today's Weather Forecast

Wednesday 17th December Good morning! It's Wednesday, the 17th of December, 2025, and as we find ourselves deep into winter, let's have a look at what the weather has in store for us across the UK today. Starting in the south-east, it's a rather mild day with temperatures peaking at just over 10 degrees Celsius. There'll be a touch of sunshine early, though as the day progresses, it balances with breezy conditions, so best to keep your layers handy if you're heading out. In Wales, however, it's wise to take that brolly, as morning rain moves through, with temperatures reaching a high of around 12 degrees. It turns gusty too, so if you're planning to travel, especially by road, it's worth allowing a bit of extra time. Moving to Scotland, particularly the central belt, we've a mix of early morning sunshine turning to rain by late morning. Similar highs of around 10 degrees, with brisk winds, particularly around the coastlines. So, consider indoor activities this afternoon! Across Northern Ireland, the rain is expected to make an appearance in the early hours, but things should gradually improve by the afternoon. It's a decent enough day in terms of temperature, with a high just over 11 degrees. Just note, it’s breezy, which will add a chill to the air. In the Midlands, early bursts of sunshine give way to rain as we head into the evening, but the daytime should be rather bright with mild highs. If you're contemplating a late afternoon stroll, be advised that persistent rain comes later. The north-west of England wakes to early sunshine but should brace for rain by mid-morning. Conditions remain blustery, so those commuting or out and about would do well to travel cautiously. Finally, in the south-west, you can expect rain through much of the day, though the temperatures are relatively high for this time of year, reaching around 12 degrees. If you're closer to the coast, prepare for quite blustery wind conditions. In East Anglia and further north-east, it's largely dry and bright with a pleasant crispness in the air, making it an opportune day for those festive outdoor plans. So, despite the winter chill, there's quite a medley of weather across our regions today. Whatever your plans, stay well prepared, and here's hoping you find a snug corner to enjoy today’s offerings.
