A chilly and largely dry start to the week across the UK, with high pressure bringing settled conditions before a shift to wetter and windier weather arrives by midweek.
What is the weather forecast for the UK today?
High pressure is currently dominating, bringing a dry and bright day for most areas. The best of the sunshine will be across southern and central regions, with the live conditions above showing clear skies for large parts of England. Northern Scotland and the far north of England will see more cloud, with a few light showers possible near the coast. Temperatures will peak at 7-10°C in the south, falling to 3-5°C in the north under the cloud.
Will it rain later this week?
Yes, the settled weather will break down from Wednesday. A low-pressure system moving in from the Atlantic will bring rain to Northern Ireland and western Scotland first, then push across the rest of the UK through Thursday and Friday. The 10 day weather forecast UK shows this turning more unsettled, with stronger winds likely, particularly for northern and western coasts. The weather forecast BBC is also highlighting a moderate rainfall warning for parts of Scotland on Thursday.
