Today's Weather Forecast

Monday 31st August Good morning. For Monday, 31 August 2026, it’s a rather mixed end-of-summer day across the UK, with temperatures generally in the high teens to low twenties and a fair bit of cloud around. The warmest conditions are likely across the south-east and parts of eastern England, where highs could reach around 20 or 21°C. There will be some brightness at times, but also a few spells of rain or showers, especially later in the day across the south-east. Across Wales, the Midlands and north-west England, it’s a wetter picture overall. Early rain may make for a damp start in places, with further showers developing or returning by the afternoon. Roads could be a little greasy for the morning commute, and if you’re heading out later, it’s worth keeping a waterproof close by. Northern England will feel breezy, particularly towards exposed and coastal areas, with temperatures mostly around 17 to 19°C. Rain should be fairly patchy, but there may be some drizzle or light showers from time to time. Scotland looks drier than many other parts of the UK, though often cloudy and a touch blustery, especially through central and eastern areas. Temperatures will be on the cooler side for summer, generally around 18°C. Northern Ireland should see a mostly cloudy day with the odd spot of light rain or drizzle, but not much in the way of heavy or persistent wet weather. Winds will be moderate for many, fresh at times around coasts and hills, so it may feel cooler than the thermometer suggests. Overall, a changeable day: not a washout everywhere, but certainly one where sunshine may be limited and showers could interrupt outdoor plans.

AI Prompt Used to Generate This Image: A breezy Merseyside waterfront in late summer, crafted from coloured modelling clay with slightly lumpy textures: red-brick warehouses, wet pavements, and a grey river under low cloud after a morning shower. Small puddles glint softly, trees lean in the wind, and pedestrians in light jackets move through the mild damp air.
