UK Weather

Saturday 26th September

Good morning. This Saturday, 26 September 2026, is looking like a fairly gentle autumn day for much of the UK — a good deal of cloud around at times, but mostly dry, with a few brighter breaks developing here and there.

Across the south-east and eastern England, it should stay dry, with temperatures climbing close to 20°C in the mildest spots. There’ll be some cloud to start, but sunshine is likely to appear at times, especially through the morning in the east and later in the day further south.

The Midlands and much of northern England also look largely dry, with a cool start in places but a pleasant enough feel by late morning and afternoon. Expect highs around 18 or 19°C. The north-east may feel a little breezier, particularly near the coast, so an extra layer could be useful if you’re out and about.

Wales and parts of the north-west of England may see a little light drizzle or patchy dampness at times, though rainfall totals look very small. There should still be some brighter spells mixed in, especially around the middle of the day in Wales.

For the south-west, it’s a mostly dry picture too, with cloud breaking at times later on and some sunshine possible during the afternoon. Temperatures will be a touch lower than in the south-east, generally in the high teens.

Scotland will be dry for many, though rather breezy, especially across central and eastern areas. Temperatures will sit around the mid to high teens, so not unpleasant, but the wind may make it feel a shade fresher.

Northern Ireland should also have a mainly dry day, with a fair amount of cloud but some brighter moments, particularly later on. Highs close to 18°C are likely.

So overall: a calm, mostly dry autumn Saturday, mild in the south and east, a little fresher and breezier further north, with only a few spots of light drizzle in the west and north-west. A decent day for travel and outdoor plans, though perhaps keep a light jacket handy.

Stone cottages and distant harbour masts sit under soft grey-blue skies, while calm light glints on the sea and fallen leaves gather along a quiet footpath.
