Today's Weather Forecast
Friday 5th June Good morning. For Friday 5 June, it’s a rather cool and unsettled start to summer across much of the UK, with temperatures generally in the mid-teens and a fair amount of cloud around. Across northern England, it’s a mixed picture: western areas are likely to see a little light drizzle at times, while the north-east looks drier and brighter, though quite breezy. Winds could be noticeable here, especially along exposed coastal routes, so it may feel fresher than the thermometer suggests. The Midlands and parts of eastern England will be mostly cloudy with patchy drizzle on and off, rather than anything especially heavy. There may be a few brighter breaks, but overall it’s a day where the cloud tends to win out. Temperatures should reach around 16 to 18°C, so pleasant enough in any shelter, but not especially warm for June. Further south-west, expect a damp feel at times, with drizzle or light rain becoming more likely later in the day and into the evening. It will also be breezy, particularly near the coast, so outdoor plans may need a waterproof layer rather than just sunglasses. Wales and western coastal areas are likely to share that cooler, showery feel, with a fair breeze and occasional damp spells. For Scotland, expect a generally fresh day too, with variable cloud and some brighter intervals, though eastern and northern coastal areas may feel quite brisk. Overall, it’s not a washout, but it is a day of cloud, occasional drizzle and a noticeable breeze in places. If you’re heading out, a light jacket or waterproof will be useful — and any sunny breaks will feel all the more welcome when they appear.
