A cold front clears eastern England this morning, bringing highs of 11-13°C across London and the South East, while Scotland and northern England see 7-9°C with patchy rain. For most of the UK, today is dry but cloudy, with brighter spells developing in the West by afternoon.
What is the weather today in London and the South East?
London and the Home Counties start under overcast skies, but cloud thins through the morning. Highs reach 12-13°C with light south-westerly winds. Rain holds off until late evening, so any outdoor plans should be fine. The weather in London tomorrow looks similar, though a band of rain may spread from the West overnight.
How does the rest of the UK compare—Scotland, Wales, and the South West?
Scotland and Northern Ireland see the best of any sunshine, though temperatures stay cool at 7-9°C. A few showers affect western coasts of Wales and the South West—weather Brighton and Bristol both see a 30% chance of light drizzle by midday, but totals will be under 1mm. The Midlands and East Anglia remain mostly dry with variable cloud.
Will the settled conditions last—what about the next 10–14 days?
A weak ridge builds Friday, so the weather in London 10 days and the broader 10 Day Weather Forecast UK shows a mostly dry end to the week, then low pressure returns next week with cooler, showery conditions. For a longer view, the UK weather hub tracks the pattern, and the Birmingham Weather page indicates similar trends inland. The uk weather forecast 14 days suggests a return to westerly winds, making temperatures near average for late March.
Will it rain in London today?
No significant rain is expected in central London until after 8pm. A few spots of light drizzle possible near the coast, but most of the day stays dry. Umbrella not needed for daytime errands.
Is today’s weather typical for the season?
Temperatures of 11–13°C are about 1–2°C below the UK March average, but not unusual. The cloud cover is more persistent than normal for the South East, though western areas get more sunshine than average.
What should I wear for the weather today?
A light jacket or mid-layer is enough for most of the UK. In Scotland and northern England add a waterproof top if you’re out in the showers. Sunglasses are useful in western bright spells.
