Wednesday 2nd September

Good morning. This Wednesday, 2 September, brings a very autumnal feel for many of us — not cold, but often cloudy, a little breezy, and with outbreaks of rain moving through parts of the country.

The wettest conditions look likely across northern England, especially towards the west, where rain through the morning and around lunchtime could be heavy enough to slow the commute and make for some rather grey travelling conditions. Further east across northern England, it should be a touch drier, with only small amounts of rain and some brighter breaks possible.

Scotland starts rather damp in places, particularly through the morning, with temperatures held back around the mid-teens. Northern Ireland also sees a spell of rain during the first half of the day, but conditions should gradually become less persistent later on.

Across Wales and the Midlands, expect a mixed day: cloudy skies, a few pulses of rain or drizzle, and some drier intervals in between. Wales will feel quite breezy at times, especially towards exposed western areas, with showers most likely late morning and again during the afternoon.

Further south, it’s generally milder, with highs around 20 or 21°C. The south-east and eastern England should see only light, patchy drizzle for most, while the south-west has a mostly cloudy but largely dry day, though coastal areas may feel brisk in the breeze.

So, a day for keeping the waterproof handy, particularly in the north and west, but not a complete washout everywhere. The best chance of drier, brighter moments will be across parts of the south and east, especially later in the day.

Wind ruffles puddles and sparse plane trees, while pedestrians in coats move through the damp, mild afternoon without any dramatic storm effects.
