Today's Weather Forecast

Saturday 5th July Good morning and a happy Saturday to you all across the UK on this fine 5th of July, 2025. We’ve got quite a varied weather picture today as we delve into the heart of the British summer. Starting off with the south-east of England, it's looking to be a pleasant day with a high of around 21 degrees Celsius and a gentle breeze keeping things comfortable. Expect plenty of dry spells which should provide a lovely backdrop for any outdoor plans you might have in the region. Shifting our focus to the north of England, we're seeing a mild scene unfold with highs just about reaching 19 or 20 degrees Celsius. It’ll be mostly dry over here, with just the occasional blustery bursts, so a light jacket might be handy if you’re out and about. Over in Wales, do be prepared for a soggier start to your Saturday, especially in the morning with persistent showers dampening spirits until about mid-morning. These should clear up as the day progresses, making way for drier conditions in the latter part of the afternoon as we see a high of around 18 degrees. Turning to Scotland, wind speeds are a little brisk along with cooler temperatures peaking at 17 degrees, particularly in the central regions. Though it's largely dry, the breeze might be noticeable, so do keep that in mind if you're heading outdoors. In Northern Ireland, a similar story with just a touch of light rain here and there. The temperature is hovering around the mid-teens and again, a hint of wind but nothing too wild so go on and enjoy some outdoor time. Finally, the Midlands is basking under clearer skies with temperatures quite toasty, reaching up to 23 degrees, particularly during the sunny spells anticipated later in the day. It’s definitely one for the sun hats and picnic baskets as we move into the evening. The coastal areas of the south-west are likely to remain mostly dry with temperatures nearing 20 degrees and just a smattering of a breeze. A peaceful stroll along the seafront could be just the thing to unwind this weekend. So, quite the patchwork quilt of weather today with a little bit of everything, from sunshine to showers and breezy conditions across various regions. Whatever you’ve planned, I hope you make the most of it. Enjoy your Saturday!
