Temperatures are mild for the time of year at 9\u00b0C to 12\u00b0C almost everywhere.<\/p>\n<h2>Today&#8217;s main weather: fog in the west of Scotland, showers in the east<\/h2>\n<p>The standout is Glasgow, where fog is in place and winds are only 2 mph. Light wind means the fog has little to blow it away, and the night is cold, with a low of 1\u00b0C. Elsewhere in Scotland it is brighter: Edinburgh is mostly sunny, while Aberdeen and Inverness stay cloudy but dry.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side of the country, light showers affect London, Norwich and Newcastle. Amounts are small, no more than 0.7 mm, so think passing damp spells rather than a washout.<\/p>\n<h2>Weather by region<\/h2>\n<h3>Scotland and Northern Ireland<\/h3>\n<p>Scotland ranges from foggy Glasgow to sunny Edinburgh, with highs of 9\u00b0C to 12\u00b0C. Aberdeen is the mildest at 12\u00b0C and also the breeziest in Scotland, with winds of 15 mph. Belfast has a mostly sunny, calm day with a high of 11\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<h3>North West England, Yorkshire and North East England<\/h3>\n<p>Manchester and Leeds are cloudy but dry, with highs of 11\u00b0C. Newcastle is the exception, with light showers and 0.7 mm of rain.<\/p>\n<h3>Wales, the Midlands and the south-west<\/h3>\n<p>This is the brightest part of the country. Cardiff and Aberystwyth are mostly sunny, Plymouth is mostly sunny, and Birmingham is mostly sunny but cooler, with a high of 10\u00b0C. Bristol is cloudy. Cardiff has the strongest winds at 19 mph, a noticeable breeze but nothing severe.<\/p>\n<h3>South and East England<\/h3>\n<p>Southampton is mostly sunny with a high of 12\u00b0C. London has light showers and a high of 12\u00b0C. Norwich is also showery, with a high of 12\u00b0C and a mild low of 10\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<h2>The next few days<\/h2>\n<p>On Tuesday 3 November, Edinburgh turns wet with 1.8 mm of rain and Newcastle also sees rain. Glasgow and Inverness stay foggy. London has more light showers, and showers may be possible nearby. Much of Wales, the Midlands and the south-west stays mostly sunny.<\/p>\n<p>By Wednesday 4 November, the rain moves to Yorkshire, where Leeds gets 2.4 mm. Plymouth turns showery with winds of 22 mph, and showers are possible nearby. Fog lingers in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Inverness. Cardiff stays mostly sunny but windy at 23 mph.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday 5 November is the wettest day for the south-west. Plymouth has rain, with 3.2 mm in the city and heavier falls possible nearby. Belfast also turns rainy, and showers are possible nearby. Much of the rest of the country is cloudy and a little cooler, with highs of 9\u00b0C to 11\u00b0C, and Inverness is the coldest at 6\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<h2>What it means for you<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>In and around Glasgow, allow extra time for travel in fog and use lights when driving.<\/li>\n<li>Carry a small umbrella in London, Norwich and Newcastle, where showers are light but possible.<\/li>\n<li>Cold nights, such as 1\u00b0C in Glasgow, mean wrapping up warmly for early starts.<\/li>\n<li>If you are heading to Plymouth later in the week, plan for a wetter Thursday.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Today city by city<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wf-table\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>City<\/th>\n<th>Region<\/th>\n<th>High<\/th>\n<th>Low<\/th>\n<th>Rain<\/th>\n<th>Wind<\/th>\n<th>Sky<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>London<\/td>\n<td>South East England<\/td>\n<td>12\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>8\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>0.2 mm<\/td>\n<td>13 mph<\/td>\n<td>light showers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Southampton<\/td>\n<td>South England<\/td>\n<td>12\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>8\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>0.0 mm<\/td>\n<td>17 mph<\/td>\n<td>mostly sunny<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bristol<\/td>\n<td>South West England<\/td>\n<td>11\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>6\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>0.0 mm<\/td>\n<td>15 mph<\/td>\n<td>cloudy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Plymouth<\/td>\n<td>South West England<\/td>\n<td>11\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>8\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>0.0 mm<\/td>\n<td>16 mph<\/td>\n<td>mostly sunny<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Birmingham<\/td>\n<td>Midlands<\/td>\n<td>10\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>5\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>0.0 mm<\/td>\n<td>13 mph<\/td>\n<td>mostly sunny<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Norwich<\/td>\n<td>East of England<\/td>\n<td>12\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>10\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>0.4 mm<\/td>\n<td>15 mph<\/td>\n<td>light showers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Manchester<\/td>\n<td>North West England<\/td>\n<td>11\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>5\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>0.0 mm<\/td>\n<td>13 mph<\/td>\n<td>cloudy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Leeds<\/td>\n<td>Yorkshire<\/td>\n<td>11\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>6\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>0.0 mm<\/td>\n<td>12 mph<\/td>\n<td>cloudy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Newcastle<\/td>\n<td>North East England<\/td>\n<td>11\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>6\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>0.7 mm<\/td>\n<td>14 mph<\/td>\n<td>light showers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cardiff<\/td>\n<td>Wales<\/td>\n<td>11\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>6\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>0.0 mm<\/td>\n<td>19 mph<\/td>\n<td>mostly sunny<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Aberystwyth<\/td>\n<td>Wales<\/td>\n<td>12\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>7\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>0.0 mm<\/td>\n<td>14 mph<\/td>\n<td>mostly sunny<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Glasgow<\/td>\n<td>Scotland<\/td>\n<td>9\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>1\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>0.0 mm<\/td>\n<td>2 mph<\/td>\n<td>fog<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Edinburgh<\/td>\n<td>Scotland<\/td>\n<td>10\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>4\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>0.0 mm<\/td>\n<td>7 mph<\/td>\n<td>mostly sunny<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Aberdeen<\/td>\n<td>Scotland<\/td>\n<td>12\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>6\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>0.0 mm<\/td>\n<td>15 mph<\/td>\n<td>cloudy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Inverness<\/td>\n<td>Scotland<\/td>\n<td>11\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>6\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>0.0 mm<\/td>\n<td>7 mph<\/td>\n<td>cloudy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Belfast<\/td>\n<td>Northern Ireland<\/td>\n<td>11\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>6\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>0.0 mm<\/td>\n<td>6 mph<\/td>\n<td>mostly sunny<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wf-note\">Forecast retrieved 2 November 2026, 06:31 UTC for 16 cities across United Kingdom, each checked with four points about 30 km around it.
