Today's Weather Forecast
Saturday 2nd May Good morning. For Saturday 2 May, it’s a fairly typical spring mix across the UK, with some bright spells around but also a few damp interruptions as the day goes on. Northern England should see one of the brighter starts, especially towards the north-east, with early sunshine and just a small chance of light drizzle later. Temperatures here will be pleasant enough, reaching around 16°C, though a modest breeze may make it feel a touch fresher in exposed spots. Across the Midlands, there’ll be some decent brightness at times, particularly through the morning, but the weather looks more changeable as the day develops. By the evening, outbreaks of rain are likely to move in, and some of that could be fairly steady for a time, so it’s worth keeping a waterproof handy if you’re out later. For north-western parts of England, the day starts on a reasonably bright note too, with early sunshine giving way to more cloud. Most of the daylight hours should stay usable, but a little rain is possible late in the evening and overnight. Highs here will be around 17 or 18°C. Elsewhere, the broader pattern is one of mild spring conditions, variable cloud, and patchy rain becoming more of a feature later in the day for some central and western areas. Winds are not especially strong, but coastal and higher ground may feel a bit breezier. So, overall: a decent start for many, mild by afternoon, but with the best of the brightness earlier in the day and some wetter weather arriving later, especially through the Midlands and parts of the west. If you’ve got outdoor plans, the morning and early afternoon look the safer bet.
