Today's Weather Forecast
Tuesday 17th March Good morning and welcome to your Tuesday weather update across the UK. It looks like we're in for a pleasant spring day with some lovely spells of sunshine throughout much of the country. Starting in Scotland, particularly across central areas, you can expect a mostly dry day with a brisk breeze. Temperatures will reach around 12°C, and, although it may feel quite fresh due to the wind, the late afternoon promises brighter conditions. Perfect for an early evening stroll. Over in Wales, the day kicks off beautifully with sunny intervals early on. With temperatures climbing to 13°C, it’s a grand day for outdoor activities, so do take advantage of the drier weather. For Northern Ireland, expect a mostly dry day with a touch of rain now and then—about 1mm in total. It’ll be breezy, and temperatures will be similar at about 13°C. Don’t forget your brolly if you’re heading out, just in case those rain clouds pay a visit. In northern England, particularly in the northeast, we're looking at a day of clear blue skies and temperatures peaking at around 15°C. The morning may be a tad cloudy, but come lunchtime, the sunshine should take centre stage. The Midlands will enjoy a lovely sunny spell late in the morning, with temperatures hovering around 15°C. A light jacket should suffice as you go about your day. Turning to the east, the south-east and East Anglia will bask under bright skies come the afternoon. A mild 16°C as the mercury rises, making it a delightful day to be outdoors. In the south-west, it's a similar story of brilliance with sunshine breaking through around mid-afternoon. Temps will be a little cooler here, around 13°C but all in all, a lovely day to be outside. Coastal areas across the UK will remain dry and bright, although breezy at times. If you're near the seaside, expect a fresh gust, so perhaps keep that scarf handy. There’s certainly a bit of spring warmth in the air today. Whether you’re commuting, planning a leisurely walk, or simply popping out for a bit, wrap up lightly and enjoy the sunshine. Whatever your plans, have a splendid day out there.
