UK Weather

Monday 25th May

Good morning. It’s Monday, 25 May 2026, and spring is serving up a very summery feel across much of the UK today.

For most areas, it’s a dry and bright picture from the start, with long spells of sunshine and only small amounts of cloud drifting through at times. Temperatures will climb quickly, especially across the Midlands, Wales, northern England and eastern England, where highs are likely to reach the low to mid-30s Celsius in a few spots. That’s unusually hot for late May, so it’s a day to keep the sun cream, water bottle and a bit of shade close by if you’re out and about.

The south-west will also be very warm, though coastal breezes should take the edge off the heat slightly. Across Scotland and Northern Ireland, it’s a more comfortable sort of warmth, generally in the low to mid-20s, with bright or sunny spells and largely dry conditions. Northern and eastern coastal areas may feel a little fresher where the breeze picks up.

Winds are generally light to moderate, so they won’t offer much relief inland, where the heat could feel quite intense through the afternoon. Travel conditions look mostly fine, with no rain expected, though glare from strong sunshine could be a factor on the roads.

Through the evening, it stays dry and pleasantly warm for many, with temperatures only slowly easing. Some western and southern areas may have quite a mild, close night ahead. Overall, it’s a settled, sunny and very warm day — lovely for outdoor plans, but worth treating the sunshine with a bit of respect.

Victorian terraces and a glimpse of civic architecture sit beyond the greenery under a clear blue sky, the air calm and summery but realistic, with no rain or haze.
