It will be a drier and fresher start for most, with some scattered showers across Wales, northern parts of Northern Ireland, southeast and southwest England and northern Scotland. Many places will stay dry with sunny spells. - This is the Met Office UK Weather forecast for the morning of 01/08/2025. Bringing you today’s weather forecast is Alex Deakin.
00:00Morning. There's some lively weather in the forecast for the start of next week, but for the next couple of days, many of us will be fine and dry.
00:09A little fresher this Friday compared to yesterday, and it's not completely dry.
00:13There are already some showers coming into Wales, Northern Ireland, scattering over Northern Scotland.
00:18Quite a bit of cloud coming into Eastern England, and a brisk and fairly fresh wind blowing here.
00:23And inland, over the far south of Scotland, North West England, down over the Pennines to the Midlands and the South East.
00:30Here in this zone, a scattering of afternoon showers. One or two heavy ones possible, but many places will avoid those showers and stay dry.
00:38And certainly this afternoon, much of the West looking pretty bright with some good spells of sunshine for the West Coast of Scotland, West Coast of Wales and South West England too.
00:47A fresher feel, though, not as humid as recent days, and certainly with that breeze around the coast in the West, and especially those North Sea coasts, it will feel cooler with temperatures.
00:57High teens, low 20s at best.
01:00Through this evening, still the odd shower here and there, but many places will avoid them and stay dry.
01:05And the showers, certainly inland, should fade away.
01:07A bit more cloud coming into Lincolnshire and East Anglia.
01:11It may produce the odd little bit of drizzle before that too melts away through the early hours.
01:15Perhaps a little bit of mist here and there.
01:17And it will be a cooler night, certainly, than many nights of late, with temperatures in towns and cities getting down to 10 or 11 rural spots.
01:25Well down into single figures in some locations.
01:27So, yes, a cooler start to Saturday, but by and large, Saturday is looking like a good day if you have to dry and bright and you want some sunshine.
01:36The clouds will bubble up a little bit through the day, and it's, again, not completely dry.
01:40Eastern England, most at risk from seeing a shower too, but, again, they should be pretty well scattered and fairly light.
01:47Should tend to move through too.
01:49So, again, most places dry and bright.
01:51Saturday with some sunshine, just clouding over for Northern Ireland and Northwest Scotland.
01:55That's an approaching weather front.
01:57Late in the day, likely to bring some rain to the Western Isles.
02:00Temperature wires ticking up a little on Saturday.
02:02Yes, it'll start off coolish, but come the afternoon, feeling pleasant enough as those temperatures get a degree or so above average into the low 20s, maybe the mid-20s across parts of the southeast.
02:13But that thickening cloud and increasing breeze across the Northwest is a sign of a change.
02:18It's a weather front, as I mentioned, tied into a pretty deep area of low pressure.
02:22This weather is heading up across Iceland.
02:24The weather fronts, though, as they track in, will bring cloud and some outbreaks of rain crossing northern areas during Saturday night into Sunday morning, then pushing away to the south.
02:34But look at this.
02:34Out in the Atlantic, this is a different beast.
02:37This area of low pressure intensifying as it approaches the UK and is likely to barrel its way in.
02:43Some uncertainty about the exact track and exactly how intense this low is.
02:48But with those isobars closely packed, it is likely to bring some windy weather, some unseasonably windy weather.
02:55And accompanying that, those weather fronts and that low will also bring some pretty hefty downpours of rain.
03:00So, yes, some unusually wet and windy weather as we head into Monday.
