Today the UK sees a band of rain moving east with temperatures ranging from 6°C in northern Scotland to 13°C in southeast England. A brisk south-westerly wind means it will feel cooler, especially along western coasts.
What are the key weather numbers right now?
Based on the live conditions above, the highest temperature this morning is 13°C in London, while the lowest is 4°C in parts of the Highlands. Rainfall totals so far are light – under 2 mm for most areas – but heavier bursts are expected later in Wales and the Midlands. Wind gusts reach 35 mph near exposed western headlands.
Will it stay unsettled for the rest of the week?
The low-pressure system clears overnight, bringing a drier, brighter Friday for many. However, a fresh Atlantic front arrives Saturday, so by Sunday a new band of rain will affect western Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Yes, light rain is expected in London from mid-morning through early afternoon, with totals around 2–3 mm. The temperature will hold near 12°C but feel cooler in the breeze. There will be a brief drier spell this evening.
Is any snow forecast for the UK?
No significant snow is expected today. Above 600 m in the Highlands there may be a few sleet flurries, but these will not settle. The risk of snow increases later in March as temperatures dip below average.
Are there any weather warnings in place?
A yellow rain warning is active for parts of Wales and northern England until 21:00 UTC today. Localised flooding and travel disruption are possible. Check the Moderate Rainfall Warning page for updates.
