Today's Weather Forecast

Friday 9th October Good morning. For Friday, 9 October 2026, it’s a distinctly autumnal picture across the UK, with a mix of rain, blustery winds and some brighter breaks developing as the day goes on. The wettest weather is likely across northern England, especially towards the north-west, where rain may be heavy at times early on and could make for a rather slow start on the roads. Wales and Northern Ireland will also see spells of rain, with further showers moving through into the middle part of the day and afternoon. Western coastal areas will feel quite breezy too, so umbrellas may not always be your best friend. Across the Midlands, expect a damp spell through the morning before conditions gradually ease later. Eastern England starts quite wet in places, but brighter intervals should follow, with temperatures here among the mildest of the day, reaching around 18°C. The south-east looks a little drier overall, though still with plenty of cloud at times and a brisk breeze. Scotland has some early rain, particularly across central and eastern areas, but there should be some decent sunny spells developing by late morning and into the afternoon. North-east England also fares relatively well after a cool start, with only a little rain and some useful sunshine later. Temperatures generally range from 14°C in parts of Scotland to 17 or 18°C across southern and eastern England. So, not especially cold, but with the wind and rain it may feel a touch fresher at times — definitely a day for a waterproof layer if you’re out and about.

Dark grey felt clouds hang low, with wind-bent trees and blurred warm window glows conveying a severe, soggy October day without exaggeration.
