Today’s UK weather: fog and a band of rain
The fog is the thing to plan around. It sits over the south, the Midlands, the north of England and Wales, while the sunniest weather is in the far north and west. Winds are light almost everywhere, which is why the fog can hang around rather than being stirred away.
South and South East England
London has light showers with a high of 11°C, though very little rain falls. Southampton is foggy with a high of 10°C and no rain. Further west, Bristol is also foggy but cool at first, with a low of 4°C overnight.
South West England and Wales
Plymouth is the bright spot, mostly sunny and the warmest place in our forecast at 14°C. Bristol is foggy. In Wales, Cardiff and Aberystwyth both start foggy, with highs of 12°C and 13°C, and winds of 15 mph.
Midlands, East and the North of England
Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds are all foggy and dry, with highs of 11°C to 12°C. Newcastle is cloudy with only a trace of rain. The wettest weather is in East of England, where Norwich has rain, about 1.3 mm, with showers possible nearby.
Scotland and Northern Ireland
Scotland is mostly bright. Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness are mostly sunny, with highs of 11°C. Edinburgh is the exception, with light showers and a few heavier ones possible nearby. Belfast is mostly sunny with a high of 11°C and winds of 13 mph.
The next few days

What it means for you
If you are driving this morning in England or Wales, allow extra time and use dipped headlights in fog. Visibility should improve as the day goes on in places, but check before long journeys. For walks and outdoor plans, Scotland and Northern Ireland are the best bets today, while Norwich needs a waterproof. Evenings are cool, so a warm layer is sensible.
