The UK weather forecast today is a mix of bright spells and scattered showers, heaviest across northern and western regions. Conditions will feel cooler than recent days as a low-pressure system drifts east, bringing brisk winds to exposed coasts.

What is the weather forecast for the UK today?

A weak weather front is pushing south-east, leaving northern Scotland and the north-west of England with frequent showers and gusty winds. Central and southern England, including the weather forecast London areas, will see largely dry conditions with sunny intervals after a cloudy start. The best of the sunshine will be along the south coast and in East Anglia.

How will the weather change through the week?

A ridge of high pressure builds from Tuesday, offering a drier interlude for many. However, by midweek another Atlantic system approaches, bringing cloud and rain to northern and western areas by Wednesday afternoon. The weather in London 14 days outlook suggests a return to more unsettled conditions by the weekend, with average temperatures for late September.

Will it be a wet weekend across the UK?

Saturday looks largely dry for most, but by Sunday a deepening low brings rain to all parts, heaviest in the west. The uk weather forecast 14 days indicates a showery start to the following week.

Is the 14 day weather forecast reliable right now?

Detail beyond seven days is low-confidence. The 14 day weather forecast suggests a changeable pattern, but day-to-day specifics should be checked closer to the time via the live conditions above.

Where can I check the weather forecast BBC?

The BBC forecast is available on our metroreport BBC Weather UK page, which pulls from the Met Office data. For a quick look, the Weather Radar UK page shows rain moving in real time.
