Southampton and the South Coast start dry and cloudy this morning, with the live conditions above showing highs near 14°C. Rain is likely across northern Britain from the afternoon, and a moderate warming trend begins tomorrow.

What is the outlook for today and the week ahead?

A band of rain moving south-east will bring a wet finish to the day for Scotland and northern England, while southern areas remain largely dry with patchy cloud. By Wednesday, high pressure builds from the west, lifting temperatures to the mid-teens in many parts, including London. The UK weather bbc outlook suggests a settled second half of the week, though a weak front may clip the far north-west later. For those planning ahead, our 10 Day Weather Forecast UK offers a detailed look at the next ten days, and if you’re searching for a uk weather forecast 14 days, the Met Office’s long-range outlook is a reliable resource.
