Today's Weather Forecast

Friday 2nd October Good morning. This Friday, 2 October 2026, brings a fairly mild autumn day for much of the UK, though not everyone will stay dry. Across the south-east and eastern England, it’s one of the more settled pictures: a bright start in places, with some hazy sunshine and only the odd spot of drizzle possible. Temperatures should reach around 20°C locally, so it may feel pleasantly mild for early October, especially out of the breeze. The Midlands and parts of Wales will also be on the mild side, with early brightness giving way at times to cloudier skies. Rainfall here looks mostly light and patchy, so many areas should manage a largely usable day, even if it turns a little grey now and again. Further west and south-west, there will be more in the way of damp weather, particularly during the morning. Some coastal routes may be wet for the early commute, but conditions should become a bit more mixed later, with drier breaks developing between showers. Northern England looks breezier, especially towards the north-east and exposed coasts, where showers are more likely and winds will be quite noticeable. The north-west should fare somewhat drier, though still with a fresh autumn feel. Scotland and Northern Ireland have the wettest theme overall. Scotland will see spells of rain at times, alongside a brisk wind, while Northern Ireland may start with some brightness before rain becomes more persistent into the afternoon. If you’re heading out later there, it’s worth taking waterproofs and allowing a little extra time on the roads. Temperatures widely sit in the mid to high teens, so not especially cold, but the combination of cloud, breeze and rain in the north and west will make it feel more autumnal than the thermometer suggests.

AI Prompt Used to Generate This Image: A soft claymation-style coastal village in County Antrim slowly waking under steady autumn rain, wet stone cottages and slate roofs glistening in a brisk breeze. Early morning light breaks through low grey clouds, with puddled lanes, wind-tossed hedgerows, and the dark sea beyond the harbour, realistic and subdued, no text or watermarks.
