Today's Weather Forecast

Saturday 9th August Good morning and welcome to your national weather update for Saturday, 9th August 2025. A mixed bag of weather is in store across the UK today, with some regions enjoying a delightful summer's day while others might find it blustery. Starting in the south-east, expect a warm day with the mercury peaking at a pleasant 24.3°C. Plenty of sunshine is on the cards, especially late morning and into the afternoon, so a perfect day for a stroll or perhaps a garden get-together. Winds are gentle here, making it all the more inviting for outdoor plans. Moving over to the south-west, temperatures are a comfortable 22.4°C. It’s a similar sunny story for much of the day, with those morning rays promising a bright start. Ideal for those coastal walks or a lazy day by the seaside. Winds are moderate but shouldn't cause too much bother. Wales will also see a largely dry day, with temperatures reaching up to 22.1°C. Sunshine peeks out later in the afternoon around tea time, perfect for catching a few rays in the garden, with winds providing just enough of a breeze to keep things fresh. Into the Midlands, temperatures are aiming for a peak of around 22.6°C. While it starts on a sunny note, expect those bright spells to continue throughout the day, making this a great day to enjoy any planned activities without the worry of rain. Heading up to northern England, you'll find a mix of conditions. Highs are around 20.8°C, and while the day starts sunny, those clouds are likely to move in late afternoon, though rainfall is not expected. Winds could be a touch breezier, so if you’re outdoors, you might opt for a light jacket just in case. Scotland is slightly cooler today, peaking at 18.4°C with the chance of a light shower early on, but don't worry - the sunshine should make an appearance as the day gets on. Those in the capital might feel the brisk winds of nearly 28 km/h, so it’s worth bearing in mind if you're heading out for a walk or cycle. Over in Northern Ireland, a high of 19.6°C is expected, with early morning showers not out of the question. However, it gives way to brighter skies as the afternoon progresses. Slightly breezy conditions might be felt along the coasts, so hold onto your hat! Across the UK today, wherever you are, the weather provides opportunities, whether you're soaking up the sun or watching the sky for those brighter intervals. Have a splendid Saturday!
