Today's Weather Forecast

Wednesday 24th June Good morning. For Wednesday, 24 June 2026, it’s a very hot summer’s day for much of the UK, with the strongest heat across the south-east, the Midlands, parts of Wales and eastern England. There’ll be plenty of sunshine from the start in southern and central areas, and temperatures will rise quickly through the morning. By the afternoon, the south-east could reach the mid-30s Celsius, locally around 36°C, so it will feel intensely hot in built-up areas. The Midlands and parts of Wales won’t be far behind, widely into the low to mid-30s, while eastern England also stays very warm and bright. Further north, it’s still warm, though a little less extreme. Northern England will see a mix of sunshine and some cloud, with temperatures ranging from the mid-20s in the north-east to nearer 30°C farther inland and to the south of the region. Scotland looks fresher by comparison, with some cloud around but decent sunny spells developing, especially late morning and into the afternoon. Northern Ireland has a cooler feel, with more cloud at times and the chance of a little light drizzle early on, but it should brighten up later, with some pleasant sunshine by mid to late afternoon. Winds are generally light to moderate, though a touch breezier around some eastern and coastal areas, which may offer limited relief from the heat. Rain is not a feature for most, so outdoor plans look largely dry — but do take care in the heat: keep hydrated, seek shade during the hottest part of the day, and expect travel to feel rather uncomfortable, particularly on busy roads and public transport.

AI Prompt Used to Generate This Image: A photorealistic CGI render with cinematic lighting of a sun-baked Welsh suburban park in midsummer, with dry golden grass, leafy trees casting sharp shadows, and red-brick terraces beyond the railings. The air feels still and hot under a clear blue sky, with a few people resting in shade and heat haze softening the distant rooftops.
