Today the UK sees a mix of cloud and rain moving in from the Atlantic, with the wettest conditions across western Scotland and Northern Ireland, while London and the southeast stay largely dry until late afternoon.

What is the weather like across the UK right now?

Scotland’s west coast, including Glasgow and the Highlands, faces persistent rain and fresh winds, while Edinburgh on the east side remains drier with brighter spells. England’s Midlands and southern counties, such as Birmingham and Bristol, start cloudy but should see some brightness by noon. Wales, especially coastal areas like Cardiff, will catch patchy rain later. Northern Ireland, from Belfast to Derry, is already damp.

The uk weather bbc outlook shows a low-pressure system drifting east, so expect the rain to reach London by early evening. For a detailed view, weather radar tracks the band of showers moving inland.

Will the weekend bring any change?

Saturday remains unsettled with further rain for most regions, heaviest over northern hills and lighter in the south. By Sunday a ridge of high pressure builds, giving more settled conditions for inland areas like the Cotswolds and the Home Counties, though coasts may still have a brisk breeze. Temperatures stay near average for March, around 10-12°C in the south and 6-8°C in the north.
