Today's Weather Forecast

Tuesday 6th October Good morning. For Tuesday, 6 October 2026, it’s a fairly gentle autumn day for much of the UK, with light winds, some mild air in the south, and a few damp patches further north and west. Across the south-west, the Midlands and the south-east, it’s largely dry, with some decent brightness at times and temperatures widely reaching around 20°C. That should make for a pleasant feel by October standards, especially where the cloud breaks up during the day. Wales also stays on the mild side, again close to 20°C in places, though there may be a little light drizzle or dampness here and there. Nothing too disruptive, but you may want a light waterproof if you’re out for a while. Northern England looks a bit more mixed. Western areas may see a few spots of rain or drizzle, and there’s a chance of a wetter spell later in the afternoon. Further north and towards the north-east, it will feel cooler, with highs closer to 14 or 15°C and some patchy damp weather around. Scotland has a cool, mostly cloudy sort of day, with just the odd bit of light rain or drizzle. Temperatures are generally in the mid-teens at best, and while it won’t be especially windy, it may feel rather grey at times. Some late brightness is possible in places. Northern Ireland starts damp, with rain around early on, before conditions gradually ease. It remains on the cool side, with temperatures around 14°C, but the day should improve a little as it goes on. Winds are generally light to moderate nationwide, so travel disruption from the weather should be limited. Overall, a mild and fairly quiet autumn day for many, brightest and warmest in southern and central parts, with the north and west seeing more cloud and a few damp spells.

Soft cloud cover breaks to a pale glow, with calm puddles, distant chimney pots, and pedestrians in coats moving through the gentle, realistic weather.
