Today's Weather Forecast

Saturday 3rd October Good morning. For Saturday, 3 October 2026, it’s a fairly settled autumn picture for much of the UK, with a good deal of dry weather and some pleasant brightness around — though a few areas will see a little patchy drizzle. The warmest conditions will be across the south-east, where temperatures could reach around 20 or 21°C, so it may feel quite mild for early October, especially with some sunshine through the morning. The south-west and Wales also look largely dry, with light winds and brighter spells developing at times, particularly around late morning and early afternoon. Across the Midlands and northern England, it’s a slightly more mixed story. There will be some sunny breaks, but also the chance of light rain or drizzle here and there, especially further north and towards western coastal areas. It won’t amount to much for most, but roads and pavements may be damp in places, so worth bearing in mind if you’re heading out early or travelling. Scotland and Northern Ireland should stay mostly dry, though cooler than the south, with highs generally in the mid-teens. Winds will be a little more noticeable at times, particularly across exposed and coastal spots, but nothing especially disruptive. Overall, it’s a decent autumn Saturday: not completely cloud-free, and a touch breezy in places, but many areas should manage some brightness. A light jacket will be useful, especially first thing and later in the evening, but for much of the country it’s a reasonable day for getting outdoors.

AI Prompt Used to Generate This Image: Photorealistic handcrafted toy block scene of a breezy Merseyside waterfront in early autumn, built from interlocking plastic bricks: wet paving, a few shallow puddles, and brick warehouses under broken grey cloud. Soft midday sunshine breaks through after light drizzle, catching amber leaves and the rippled river, with no text or watermarks.
