Heavy rain continues in the north and west of the UK this evening, with the wet conditions gradually pushing south to also affect central England and Wales into tonight, then the South West by tomorrow morning. Drier conditions for the southeast and central areas to start tomorrow. A warm start to tomorrow, but cloudy and wet. This is the Met Office UK Weather forecast for the evening of 04/07/2025. Bringing you today’s weather forecast is Alex Burkill.
00:00I know lots of people are hoping for a bit of rain because it's been so dry so hot recently but there are also going to be a lot of plans this weekend outdoor plans which could be dampened a little bit because there's a weather system that's pushing through through the end of today and overnight that's going to bring some rain to many places and behind it there's quite a bit of cloud there'll be some damp weather following in as we go through Saturday and on Sunday a fair few scattered showers to watch out for as well.
00:26So quite a changeable picture some devil in the detail as well starting off through the end of today though it's wettest towards the north and west but as I showed that frontal system does make its way across the whole country and so during the early hours of Saturday morning many places will be pretty cloudy and there will be some rain at times mainly towards the west but a swathe of rain pushing across some parts of East Anglia maybe parts of the southeast as well far eastern areas of northern England and eastern Scotland largely dry maybe some clear breaks
00:55but most places will have a cloudy night and it is going to be a blustery night as well as that rain mixed in as well as a result of all that it's not going to be a chilly night not at all temperatures for many staying in the mid-teen Celsius so pretty warm start to the day on Saturday morning then through the day itself staying pretty cloudy across many places there'll still be a bit of rain hanging back across parts of the far east of England
01:25wettest weather it's not looking especially heavy for many places but across western Scotland we're going to continue to see the rainfall totals building up and so as a result there could be a bit of localized flooding maybe even some travel disruption mixed in because of the rain that's come through Friday and will continue through Saturday as well elsewhere the rain's looking a little bit lighter but there is the potential for some heavier bursts of rain to push into parts of the southwest of England as we go through the afternoon
01:55and with the wind a greater chance of a greater chance of seeing some bright sunny spells and here it's actually going to be pretty warm temperatures in the mid-twenties Celsius elsewhere temperatures nearer average for the time of year a little bit below in some places and obviously with the cloud the rain the blustery winds which will be strongest across northern parts it's going to feel a bit fresher as well
02:13Then a bit more cloud, a bit more wet weather to come as we go through the evening.
02:18A mixture of rain and a few showery bursts across many places continuing for a time overnight.
02:23Quite thick cloud across the southern counties bring some relatively drizzly rain at times.
02:28And further north, showery spells making their way through.
02:32So again, it is going to be quite changeable and quite unsettled.
02:35As a result, temperatures once more not dropping especially low, perhaps a little bit warmer than this coming night across parts of the southeast.
02:42Some places only dropping to around 17 or 18 Celsius, fresher than this further north.
02:47And then through Sunday itself, yes, there will be some sunny breaks at times, but on the whole it is again looking quite cloudy.
02:54There will be some showery bursts, some hefty, perhaps even thundery showers across eastern central England first thing during the morning.
03:00They clear away and then a scattering of showers across other places as we go into the afternoon.
03:05Perhaps a spell of more persistent rain pushing southwards across some eastern central parts of Scotland.
03:10But this doesn't look especially heavy at the moment.
03:13Temperature wise, while still relatively warm towards the east, southeast, mid 20s possible here.
03:18Similar to Saturday really elsewhere, mid to high teens for most places.
03:22But as we go later on into next week, and there are signs of a return to something more settled.
03:29Yes, there's a weather system coming into the northwest as we go through into Tuesday.
03:33So that could bring some wet weather here, but there's also high pressure building from the southwest.
03:38That's likely to quieten our weather down.
03:40So I think many places are going to have a lot of fine, dry weather.
03:43And with that, temperatures are set to rise.
03:46Exactly how high they get by the end of the week and into next week, well, that's still all to play for.
03:50But it could turn hot again for some of us.
03:52So stay tuned, stay up to date, because you'll need to know just how hot it's going to get.
