How should you prepare for today’s weather?
Keep a light jacket or umbrella handy if you’re in the north or west. No need for heavy coats further south. Check your local UK weather hub for hourly updates if you’re heading out later.
Is BBC Weather still accurate for short-term plans?
Yes, BBC Weather uses Met Office data and is reliable for the next 24–48 hours. Check their site or app for live radar and warnings if rain is expected near you.
Should I trust the forecast for outdoor travel?
For today, yes. Winds are light and rain is light. If you’re walking or cycling, the forecast holds well. For longer trips, check the 10-day outlook to spot any changes.
Why does the south get better weather today?
