Today's Weather Forecast

Sunday 30th August Good morning. It’s Sunday, 30 August 2026, and for many of us it’s a rather changeable end to the summer weekend. The wettest conditions today are likely across parts of Scotland, especially through the morning, with persistent rain around at first and a cool feel — highs only in the mid-teens for some. Conditions should become less unsettled later, but it may stay rather grey and damp in places. Across northern England and the north-west, there’s a mixed picture: some early rain, then a drier interlude before further showers push through during the afternoon. A few could be quite sharp, so if you’re heading out later, it’s worth keeping a waterproof close by. For Wales and the Midlands, the morning may start fairly usable, but showers become more of a feature from early to mid-afternoon. Some of these could turn heavy for a time, particularly across south Wales and central parts of England, which may make for some wet roads during the later part of the day. The south-east and east of England look a little warmer, with highs around 21 or 22°C. It won’t be completely dry, though — the south-east is at risk of afternoon showers, while eastern areas should generally see lighter, patchier rain and perhaps a few brighter breaks. Further south-west, expect a breezier feel, especially near the coast, with some rain around in the morning before conditions become more scattered. Winds here could be noticeable for anyone on the beaches, coastal paths or out on the water. Northern Ireland sees lighter showers overall, most likely around lunchtime, with temperatures in the high teens and some drier spells in between. So, in summary: not a washout everywhere, but certainly a day to plan around showers, particularly during the afternoon. Temperatures are modest for late summer, generally in the high teens to low twenties, with the best chance of brightness towards eastern areas.

Heavy afternoon showers streak across the scene, pooling in tiny paper lanes and darkening the green valley beyond, under a low, brooding sky with no text or watermarks.
