Today's Weather Forecast

Wednesday 2nd July Good morning, it’s Wednesday, 2nd July 2025, and as we embrace the British summer, let's take a look at the weather across the UK today. In the south-east, you'll find a bit of a mixed bag. The day begins with some rain, but there's sunshine on the horizon as we head into the evening, with temperatures peaking around 23°C. So, if you're in the area, an evening stroll could be quite pleasant. Heading over to the Midlands, it's a dry day ahead. We'll see plenty of bright spells from midday onwards, with temperatures hovering just over the 20-degree mark. Rather nice for those outdoor lunch plans or a bit of gardening. Wales offers a sun-drenched morning without any rain to spoil the fun. With highs of 24°C, it’s a splendid day for anyone planning a wander through the countryside or a trip to the coast. In Scotland, central and northern parts will have a cooler start with some light showers initially, particularly in the far north-east. However, the skies will gradually clear for a sunny evening, making it a good time to enjoy the extended daylight. In Northern Ireland, it's mostly dry with a bit of sunshine dotted through the day but do be aware of a few sprinkles here and there, driven by a brisk breeze. For those in the south-west, expect a mild 21°C with sunshine peeking through mid-morning and again come early evening, perfect if you fancy a laid-back beach trip or an outdoor dining experience. Our friends in northern England will need to keep an eye out for rain, particularly through parts of the morning and into the afternoon. It will stay on the cooler side, close to 16°C, and with gustier winds, it might be a day for indoor activities. Lastly, for those on the coast, while it's generally pleasant with temperatures around 18 to 20 degrees, it's the wind you'll notice most today, particularly in the north-west. With gusts picking up, it might be a bit blustery for a picnic on the beach. That's your national weather scene for today! Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday, whatever the skies bring your way.
