You might want to keep a brolly handy today, as the live forecast above shows a generally unsettled picture across much of the UK, with patchy rain and brisk winds making it feel cooler than recent days.
What’s driving today’s weather pattern?
A low-pressure system sitting to the northwest is pushing bands of cloud and rain southeastward across the country. This means a mostly grey day for many, though some brighter, showery intervals are possible in southern and eastern areas by the afternoon. The brisk westerly breeze will add a chill, so a light jacket is advisable if you’re heading out.
How will the rest of the week look?
Conditions remain changeable into midweek, with further spells of rain expected, particularly across northern and western regions. Drier and brighter weather should gradually build from the south by Thursday, but temperatures will stay near or slightly below average for the time of year. For the full outlook, see our 10 Day Weather Forecast UK page.
Will today’s rain stick around all day?
For most, the rain will be intermittent rather than persistent. A band of rain may stall over northern hills, but central and southern areas should see drier spells develop by mid to late afternoon.
Is it still safe to travel in the stronger winds?
Yes, but take care on exposed roads and bridges, especially if you’re driving a high-sided vehicle. Gusts near 35 mph are possible around coastal areas like the Northwest, so allow extra time for your journey.
When will we see a return to sunnier weather?
High pressure looks set to build from the south by Thursday, bringing a more settled day for many. However, the north and west may stay cloudier with a few showers. Check your local forecast on our UK weather hub.
