Today's Weather Forecast

Friday 15th August Good morning, everyone. As we look at the weather across the UK on this lovely summer Friday, August the 15th, it's set to be a bright and warm day for the vast majority, so outdoor plans should be met with smiles all around. Firstly, in much of the south-east, including parts of the capital and surrounding areas, a warm, sun-drenched day awaits, with temperatures climbing to almost 30 degrees Celsius. It's a dry outlook, with just a gentle breeze to keep things comfortable. This trend of pleasantly high temperatures continues across the south-west, where it's slightly cooler yet still very inviting, perfect for a stroll or a visit to the coast. Moving to Wales, we're also basking in similar warmth, nearing the 30-degree mark. It's a splendidly sunny day from sunrise, so whether you're hitting the beaches or exploring inland, conditions are spot-on. The Midlands can also expect a day of lovely summer weather, topping out in the mid-twenties, and the sunshine making a more prominent appearance towards late afternoon. A wonderful day to be out and about, perhaps in a garden or a café. As we head further north, whilst it's a bit cooler in northern England, there's no disappointment on the cards, with temperatures comfortably sitting in the low-to-mid twenties. An afternoon burst of sunshine brightens the day, particularly in the north-west, making it an excellent opportunity to enjoy any outdoor festivities or activities. Over in Scotland, the story remains positive. It's a touch cooler compared to the south, but still delightfully pleasant with sunshine making a consistent appearance later in the day. Western parts, such as those around the coastal areas, will catch some early rays, setting up a perfect evening to dine al fresco. Across to Northern Ireland, it's a similar feeling of mild warmth. The day starts bright and early with spots of sunshine, allowing for a sunny morning in most places. This should carry through, ensuring a fine day ahead, great for those who might be opting for a garden sport or leisurely walk. In summary, today offers classic British summer weather at its very best — warm, sunny, and inviting across all regions. Whether by the sea, in the city, or out in the countryside, it’s certainly a day to relish and enjoy. Do take your sunscreen and stay hydrated if you're spending extended periods outdoors. Have a fantastic day, everyone, and make the most of these summer conditions!
