Today's Weather Forecast

Monday 18th August Good morning! It's Monday, the 18th of August, 2025, and as we enjoy the heart of summer, here's what you can anticipate across the UK weather-wise. Now, all in all, today's looking like a rather dry affair with a universal absence of rain throughout the day. Let's start in the south-east, where temperatures will top out around 22 to 23 degrees Celsius. You might notice a gentle breeze to add a bit of freshness to your day, making it pleasant for outdoor activities or that commute to work. Heading over to Wales, we're seeing a slightly warmer day — highs here reaching around 24 degrees, with a lovely sunny spell expected to arrive about mid-afternoon. Perfect timing for a bit of a stroll or an alfresco lunch. In the south-west, it’s quite similar, with just a touch of brisk wind coming in off the coast. Temperatures will be nearing 23 degrees, offering a fantastic summer's day feel. Shifting our focus to the Midlands, expect a cooler high of around 20 degrees. Still dry and mild, it's ideal weather for a wander around your local park or perhaps a lazy afternoon in the garden. Northern England is on the cooler side, particularly around the northeast, where high temperatures will hover around 17 degrees. It’ll be a calm day overall, perfect for a scenic walk but do layer up slightly if you're heading out. Over in Scotland, temperatures are lower still, peaking at about 16.5 degrees, accompanied by light winds. Though it isn’t the warmest day, it stays dry throughout — a subtle reminder that summer wears layers as you go further north. Northern Ireland joins in with a mild and dry day, highs reaching close to 23 degrees. Expect a sunny window mid-afternoon there too, creating lovely conditions for any plans you might have outdoors. There you have it — a dry and summery Monday to start the week. As always, take advantage of the warm spells as we enjoy these longer days. Have a wonderful day!
