UK Weather

Sunday 4th October Good morning. For Sunday, 4 October 2026, it’s a fairly gentle autumn picture across much of the UK — mild by day, rather cool first thing in a few spots, and mostly dry. There’ll be a good deal of cloud around at times, but also some brighter breaks, especially across Wales, the Midlands, the south-west and parts of western England. Temperatures here should lift quite comfortably into the high teens, so a decent day for getting outdoors, particularly if you catch those sunnier intervals. The warmest feel is likely across eastern and south-eastern parts of England, where highs could reach around 20 or 21°C. It won’t be wall-to-wall sunshine, but with light winds and dry conditions, it should feel pleasantly mild for early October. Further north, including northern England and parts of Scotland, it will be a touch fresher, especially early on. There may be a little patchy drizzle at times, most likely towards north-eastern and exposed coastal areas, and the breeze will be more noticeable here too — enough to make it feel cooler if you’re out for a walk or heading to the coast. Northern Ireland may also see the odd light shower or bit of drizzle, but rainfall amounts look very small, with plenty of dry weather in between. Winds here will be moderate rather than disruptive. So, overall: a mostly dry, mild autumn Sunday, with the best warmth in the east and south-east, a few damp spots towards the north and north-west, and a slightly brisker feel near some coasts. A jacket may be useful first thing and later on, but for many it’s a reasonably kind day for travel, errands or a relaxed Sunday outdoors.
