Highs of 22°C in parts of the southeast make London and the Home Counties the warmest places in the UK today. Look for settled conditions in the south; the live ranking above shows current station readings.
Where is the warmest place in the UK right now?
Today the southeast of England tops the temperature table, with London reaching 22°C, while Southampton and Cambridge hover near 21°C. The warmth is driven by high pressure sitting over the continent, allowing sunshine to break through any morning cloud. In contrast, the coldest place in the UK right now is likely in the Scottish Highlands with lows near 3°C. Worldwide, the hottest place today in the world is Death Valley, California, with 45°C, but here the warmth is modest by comparison.
Will the warmer trend continue tomorrow and into the weekend?
The hottest place in the UK tomorrow is expected to remain in the southeast, with similar values around 21–23°C. However, a weather front from the Atlantic may bring cooler, changeable conditions by Saturday. If you are planning ahead, the hottest place in the UK this weekend could shift west to Wales or the southwest as the ridge breaks down. For reference, the hottest May day in the UK was 32.8°C on 19 May 1922 in London; today’s 22°C is a pleasant spring day but not extreme.
