Today's Weather Forecast

Monday 21st September Good morning. For Monday, 21 September 2026, it’s a fairly gentle autumn day across much of the UK, with temperatures widely in the high teens or low twenties and only small amounts of rain in the forecast. Much of England and Wales will stay dry, with a mixture of cloud and brighter spells. The south-east and the Midlands look among the warmest spots, reaching around 21 or 22°C, so it should feel quite pleasant where the cloud breaks. Wales also has a decent day ahead, with light winds and highs close to 20°C. Across northern England, it will be a little cooler, particularly towards the north-east, but still mostly dry. There may be more cloud at times, though some early brightness is likely, and winds will be a touch more noticeable near exposed coasts. Scotland sees the main hint of damp weather, especially through central and eastern areas, where a little light drizzle is possible. It won’t amount to much, but it could be enough for a damp start or a few spots on the windscreen. It will also feel breezier here than further south, with highs around 19°C. Northern Ireland is looking mild and largely dry, though often cloudy, with temperatures around 20°C and a modest breeze. Some late brightness may appear, which should make for a pleasant end to the day. In the south-west, there could be the odd patch of drizzle, especially around coastal areas, but for most it’s more a case of cloud coming and going rather than anything especially wet. Overall, it’s a calm and usable day for travel, school runs and outdoor plans, with no major weather disruption expected. A light jacket may be handy first thing, but by the afternoon many places should feel comfortably mild for late September.

AI Prompt
AI Prompt Used to Generate This Image: A whimsical countryside painting with magical realism, rendered photorealistically: a mild autumn afternoon on a stone-walled lane in the Scottish Borders, with honeyed light breaking through soft grey cloud and a faint drizzle beading on grasses and hedgerows. Wind-bent rowan trees, damp sheep pastures, and distant hills glow gently in muted greens, russets, and golds; no text or watermarks.
