Today's Weather Forecast

Sunday 3rd May Good morning. For Sunday, 3 May 2026, it’s a mixed spring picture across the UK, with the mildest and driest weather towards the south-east, while northern areas have a rather wetter, cooler start. Through the early hours and into the morning, northern England sees the heaviest rain, especially towards the north-east and north-west, with some quite persistent downpours for a time. There could be plenty of surface water on roads first thing, so allow a little extra time if you’re heading out. Scotland also starts chilly and damp, with outbreaks of rain and a brisk breeze making it feel rather raw. Across the Midlands, it’s a wet start in places, though the rain should become less organised as the day goes on. Wales has a cloudier morning too, with some rain around mid-morning, but later on there should be drier intervals developing. Northern Ireland looks mostly grey with a little drizzle or light rain at times, but nothing too disruptive. Further south, conditions are much gentler. The south-east should be largely dry with just a little patchy drizzle possible, and temperatures could reach around 19°C, so it will feel pleasantly mild where any brightness comes through. The south-west and some coastal areas stay a touch cooler, nearer 14°C, with cloud and the odd spot of rain, though there may be clearer breaks later in the day. Winds are generally light to moderate, but a bit fresher around northern and eastern coasts. Temperatures range from only around 9°C in parts of Scotland to the high teens in the south-east, so it’s definitely a day for layers — and for many northern areas, keeping the umbrella close by.

AI Prompt Used to Generate This Image: Photorealistic floating countryside island suspended in a low, rain-heavy sky over Northumberland, with tiny stone cottages, wet pasture, wind-bent hedgerows, and a narrow muddy lane glistening under steady spring rain. Dark drifting clouds wrap around the island’s edges, with muted grey light and distant coastal cliffs barely visible through the downpour; no text or watermarks.
