Low pressure has tracked to the west of the country, and it will be a very wet and windy start to the day across the country. Yellow rain warnings are in effect for Wales this morning. Heavy rain pushes northeast over the UK through today, bringing some large rainfall accumulations especially to central areas, but the vast majority will see wet weather today. Rain easing off into this evening. - This is the Met Office UK weather forecast for the morning of 17/09/2025. Bringing you today’s forecast is Clare Nasir.
00:00Hello there and a very good morning to you on this Wednesday morning which is wet for many.
00:05Low pressures tracked across towards the west of the UK pushing weather fronts from the south-west up towards the north-east.
00:13You can see this heavy rain extending across more western and central areas.
00:16We do have two rain warnings across Wales as we head through the day.
00:20I'd like to see some high rainfall totals, 30 to 70 millimetres of rain causing problems,
00:25particularly on the up slopes, lots of running water there, surface issues as well as poor visibility.
00:30If you are travelling through this morning and in fact into this afternoon as well across more southern counties as that rain stores across these parts.
00:37So as we head through into the first part of Wednesday morning, this is the weather front moving in.
00:42You can see a deep area of low pressure tracking towards the north-west of Scotland through the day.
00:47This weather front continues and returns through Thursday as well with coastal gales towards the north-west.
00:52And then it just slices down the central part of England and Wales through Thursday into Friday.
00:58More rain arrives from the south-west as winds ease elsewhere.
01:02So through this morning, if you are stepping out, it's fine across Caithness, Aberdeenshire, Sutherland.
01:06A few showers for Orkney as well as Shetland.
01:09This rain moving in across western and southern parts.
01:11The Scotland clowns spilling ahead of it.
01:13You've had a western windy start for Northern Ireland but it is improving from the west.
01:16But notice mass of rain across much of England and Wales with some heavy downpours through this morning.
01:22So that will cause problems on the roads and this driving wind.
01:26So high waves across Irish seacoast up towards the North Channel as well as western parts of Scotland.
01:31Through the morning into the afternoon then you can see this rain moves northwards.
01:36So the heaviest pulses will always be across more southern areas.
01:39And the rain becomes a bit more fragmented across the highlands as it pushes towards the northeast of Scotland through the morning into the afternoon.
01:45Some brighter weather for Shetland as well as Northern Ireland.
01:48In fact an improving picture across northern England, southern Scotland as this rain continues across central southern parts of England and Wales.
01:56And notice still some high rainfall totals across southern parts of Wales as we head through the afternoon.
02:01But temperatures on the up feeling milder, warmer than the last few days.
02:0522 will be high across eastern counties.
02:0719 for the central belt of Scotland as well as Northern Ireland down towards the southwest probably 18 or 19 Celsius.
02:13But watch out for that wind, that driving wind.
02:16Through this evening and overnight then that rain continues.
02:19It will pulse from the southwest extending towards the Midlands eastern counties through the night.
02:24The rain clears the far north of Scotland but it returns towards the northwest as we head into the early hours of Thursday morning with some coastal gales.
02:32Through Thursday then, well some brighter weather across Scotland to start the day.
02:36This area of rain pushes across Northern Ireland, Northern England, North Wales.
02:39It's not going to move very far, very fast.
02:41There's a lot of forcing on it.
02:43Towards the south there, the cloud will break at times allowing for some brighter weather.
02:46So here's that weather front through the afternoon.
02:48Some fine conditions towards the north although it will be windy.
02:51And also towards the south as well as central areas.
02:54And look at these temperatures, 22, 23 degrees Celsius.
02:57And even further north we'll see 18 or 19.
03:01So that's a picture through Thursday afternoon.
03:03That weather front never too far away.
03:04It will remain across more central areas.
03:07And then into Friday, more rain arrives towards the southwest later.
03:10We could see some brighter breaks coming through, particularly in shelter across central and eastern areas.
03:15And across Scotland and Northern Ireland, mostly dry.
