Today's Weather Forecast

Thursday 7th August Good morning! As we step into this lovely August Thursday, let's have a look at the weather across the United Kingdom. Starting in the south-east, the day is shaping up to be quite pleasant with temperatures climbing up to a comfortable 21.7°C. It's a dry day ahead, which should make it ideal for those planning a stroll or a bit of alfresco dining. Moving up to Scotland, expect some dampness early on, but don't let the morning drizzle dampen your spirits. Later in the evening, northern areas will brighten up nicely, so keep your eyes peeled for clearer skies as night falls. Over in Wales, a few passing showers are on the cards, but these will be brief and mostly confined to the morning hours. There’s some sunny interludes expected later in the evening, giving a nice end to the day. Northern Ireland might see a spot of rain around dawn, but it's set to clear up as the day progresses, with sunshine breaking through by late morning and sticking around into the afternoon – a good opportunity to get some fresh air. In the Midlands, it’s a dry day with temperatures reaching up to a warm 22.7°C. If you're thinking of heading outdoor in the evening, the late sunshine should make for a rather pleasant atmosphere. Up in northern England, it remains mostly dry with occasional sunshine. You can expect it to be generally mild and breezy, with temperatures slightly cooler near the coast. Lastly, for those near the south-west, the forecast is for a mixed bag with some light rain but also intervals of sunshine as the day winds down. A decent day for garden plans if you don't mind a bit of moisture here and there. Winds will be moderate across most regions, adding a bit of freshness to the summer air. Whether you're commuting, heading out for a walk or simply enjoying your own garden, it’s set to be a fairly enjoyable summer day overall. That's all for now – do enjoy Thursday, whatever you may have planned!
