Today's Weather Forecast

Wednesday 7th October Good morning. This Wednesday, 7 October 2026, brings a very autumnal mix across the UK — some rain around, a fair amount of cloud, but also a few brighter breaks, especially later in the day for some. Across the south-east, it’s a damp start with spells of rain through the morning, likely to make the commute a bit slower and pavements rather splashy. Temperatures should still reach around 18°C, so fairly mild for October, but it may feel cooler under the rain and breeze. The Midlands and parts of northern England also begin on a wet note, with rain in places during the early hours and again through the morning. There may be some brighter intervals by late morning or lunchtime, particularly further west, but keep a waterproof handy — showers could linger. Highs here generally sit between 13°C and 15°C. Eastern England looks unsettled too, with a brighter start in some spots before rain moves in around late morning and midday. Winds will be noticeable, especially towards exposed coastal areas, so it may feel a little brisk despite temperatures reaching the mid-teens. Wales sees a rather showery day, with rain at times in the morning and around the middle of the day, but there is a better chance of some late-day brightness. Temperatures should climb to about 16°C, and by evening it may feel a touch more pleasant if the cloud breaks. The south-west has one of the drier forecasts today, with some sunshine developing during the afternoon and evening. It will, however, be quite breezy, especially near the coast, so outdoor plans should fare reasonably well, though it may not feel especially warm in the wind. Scotland is cooler but largely dry, with variable cloud and some sunshine, particularly in central and eastern areas. Temperatures are likely to peak around 12°C, so a definite autumn nip, especially first thing and again after sunset. Northern Ireland starts with some clearer spells, then turns cloudier at times with a little patchy rain or drizzle possible. Highs sit around 12°C to 13°C, with a fresh breeze adding to the cool feel. Overall, it’s a day for layers and a brolly in many places, though not everyone will see rain all day. The best of the brightness is likely to be towards the south-west, parts of Scotland, and later on in Wales, while the wettest spells are most likely across the south-east, eastern England, the Midlands, and northern England.
