The live forecast above shows a broad split across the UK today: persistent rain in the north‑west and brighter, showery conditions further south. Highs range from 7°C in parts of Scotland to 14°C in south‑east England. A yellow rain warning remains in force for northern Scotland until Wednesday.
What does the Daily Express weather warning indicate?
The daily express weather warning reported today reflects a deepening Atlantic low‑pressure system that will bring heavy rain and localised flooding to western Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Met Office has also issued a separate warning for strong winds along exposed coasts, with gusts reaching 50–60 mph. For a full breakdown of affected areas, see our UK weather hub.
How does today’s pattern compare to the rest of the week?
By Friday high pressure builds from the south, bringing drier and brighter conditions across most of England and Wales. Temperatures in the Midlands could reach 16–17°C by Saturday. The bbc weather outlook agrees, while the daily mirror weather and daily mail weather highlight uncertainty in how quickly the ridge takes hold. The daily star weather also notes a chance of isolated thunderstorms on Thursday. For a longer view, check our 10 Day Weather Forecast UK.
