Today's Weather Forecast
Friday 25th September Good morning. For Friday, 25 September 2026, it’s a fairly typical early autumn split across the UK: mild and largely dry in the south and east, but cooler and a little more unsettled further north and west. Across the south-east and East Anglia, it should be a dry day with plenty of cloud at times, but some brightness too, and temperatures reaching a very pleasant 22 or 23°C. Not bad at all for late September, so a light jacket may be enough for many by the afternoon. The south-west also looks mainly dry and fairly mild, with highs around 20°C. Winds will be noticeable near exposed coastal spots, but nothing too disruptive. Wales may see the odd patch of drizzle, though many places should get away with a mostly dry day and temperatures close to 20°C. Through the Midlands, expect a rather mixed but generally usable day: some cloud, a little patchy drizzle here and there, and highs around 18 or 19°C. Outdoor plans should be fine for much of the time, though it’s worth keeping a waterproof handy just in case. Northern England has more contrast. The north-east should stay largely dry with some brightness and temperatures around 16 or 17°C. Further west, it turns wetter for a time, with rain or heavier drizzle most likely around the middle of the day and into the afternoon before brighter spells return later. Scotland will feel cooler, with highs near 16°C and a breeze adding a fresher edge. There’ll be areas of drizzle or light rain, but also some brighter breaks, especially around the middle of the day and again later on. Northern Ireland starts with some rain in places, but there should be brighter spells developing through the morning. A few damp patches may linger, and temperatures will sit around 16°C. Overall, southern and eastern areas have the best of the warmth and dryness, while the north and west carry the greater risk of damp weather. Winds are mostly moderate, though a little brisk around coasts and higher ground, so travel impacts should be limited — just allow for wetter roads in the north-west and parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
