Today's Weather Forecast

Saturday 16th August Good morning, and a very warm welcome to your Saturday weather update for the 16th of August 2025. It's shaping up to be a splendid summer day across most of the UK. Starting off in the south-east, we're expecting a lovely, dry day with plenty of sunshine gracing the skies. Temperatures will comfortably climb to around 25 degrees, creating ideal conditions for a picnic or a leisurely stroll through the park. Heading over to Wales, it’s a similar story, with the mercury expected to soar to almost 28 degrees. It's perfect for a day at the beach, though do be mindful of the brisk winds that may whip up some sand along the coastal areas. In the Midlands, anticipate a fine day with sunny spells, and thermometers reaching up to 24 degrees. As we move through the afternoon, those radiant skies will brighten spirits, making it an excellent opportunity for a garden barbecue. Turning our attention to northern England, while temperatures won't climb as high as in the south, you'll still experience a pleasant day with highs around 24 degrees. Do look forward to some sunshine peeking through later in the afternoon, especially across the north-east, perfect just in time for your early evening plans. Up in Scotland, central regions can expect a slightly cooler day, but still dry with some sunshine breaking through, particularly in the afternoon. Highs will hover close to 19 degrees, which might be refreshing for those who fancy a brisk walk. Lastly, over in Northern Ireland, you’re in for a warm and sunny day, with temperatures reaching up to 23 degrees. Perfect for those planning to get out and enjoy the outdoors, whether it’s a hike or a relaxing afternoon in the garden. With this beautiful Saturday ahead, I hope the weather treats you well, wherever you are and whatever your plans may be. Enjoy the sunshine, keep hydrated, and I’ll be back with another update soon!
