Live data from Open-Meteo · updates automatically ·

The UK is seeing a mix of sunshine and cloud today, with temperatures near the seasonal average. For those checking the weather in major cities, expect a dry morning across most regions before patchy rain moves into the northwest later, typical of our spring transition.

What does the live data show for today?

The live conditions above confirm a relatively settled start for many, with lighter winds in the south and a gentle breeze in northern areas. Weather London shows highs around 12°C, while weather Birmingham and weather York are similar, though York may see a few spots of drizzle. Over in weather Slough and weather Skegness, it’s mainly dry with patchy cloud. Those in weather Canary Wharf will feel a touch cooler due to the river breeze, and weather Cranfield is reporting a light south‑westerly wind.

Will the rain affect outdoor plans?

For most of England and Wales, today stays largely dry until late afternoon. The exception is the north‑west of Scotland, where a weather front brings persistent drizzle. This won’t reach southern England, so if you’re heading out in London or the Midlands, you’re fine without an umbrella until the evening.

Wind10–15 mph, gusting 20 mph in the north
Rain Chance10% south, 60% north‑west

Will it rain across the whole UK today?

No. Only the north‑west of Scotland sees persistent drizzle. The rest of the UK, including weather London and weather Birmingham, stays largely dry until late evening, when a few light showers may reach northern England.

Is tomorrow expected to be warmer?

Yes, a gradual warming trend begins tomorrow. Highs may reach 14°C in southern England, but a cloudier sky in the north will keep temperatures near 11°C. Check the Weather Tomorrow UK page for your local details.
