A mostly dry and settled spell continues across the UK today, with high pressure dominating, though cloud thickening into the afternoon for many western regions and a patch of light rain possible later in the northwest.
What is the outlook for the rest of today?
For London and the Home Counties, including Slough and Canary Wharf, expect a bright start giving way to increasing high cloud but staying dry with highs around 9-11°C. Across the Midlands, from Birmingham towards Cranfield and York, a similar trend with the best of the sunshine early on. Coastal spots like Skegness will see a brisk breeze picking up off the North Sea. The far northwest of Scotland sees the mainland’s only real chance of any drizzle. The live conditions above will show any local cloud breaks.
When does the weather change?
This tranquil pattern remains into the middle of the week. A front will slowly push in from the Atlantic on Wednesday, bringing thicker cloud and a band of rain to Northern Ireland and western Scotland first, then spreading eastwards into Thursday. As we approach the weekend, there are signs of lower pressure trying to nudge in, which could introduce a more unsettled and breezier feel to our long range weather forecast, but confidence remains low on exact timing.
Will it get colder by the weekend?
Current signals suggest a potential dip in temperatures through the weekend with a return to more typical February chill, particularly overnight. Keep an eye on the 10 day weather forecast UK for the latest trends.
Where is the best chance of sunshine today?
Eastern and southern coastal counties from Kent up through East Anglia look to hold the clearest skies for longest. Cloud will build elsewhere, but some breaks remain likely around the Wash and the Norfolk coast, including near Skegness.
Should I expect fog overnight?
With clear skies inland and light winds, patches of mist and fog are likely to form after dark across rural parts of the Midlands and southern England. This may cause slower travel into Wednesday morning, particularly around areas like Cranfield and the low-lying land near York.
