The UK faces a mixed week ahead with rain spreading from the west by Tuesday, while the South East including London stays drier and milder through Monday. Temperatures will hover near seasonal averages for most.

What is the weather forecast for the UK this week?

A low pressure system moving in from the Atlantic will bring cloud and rain to northern and western regions by Tuesday. The South East and East Anglia will see the best of any dry, bright spells, with highs reaching 12-14°C in London. Showers become more widespread midweek, though southern areas stay largely dry until Thursday.

When will the next dry spell arrive?

Thursday looks the best bet for dry weather across much of England and Wales, as a ridge of high pressure builds from the south. The 10 day weather forecast shows this drier interlude lasting into Friday before another Atlantic system pushes in for the weekend.

Will it stay mild in the South East?

Yes, London and the Home Counties will see temperatures around 13-14°C through Monday and Tuesday, with light winds. A drop to 10-11°C is likely by Thursday as the ridge clears.

Is there a risk of frost?

Overnight frosts are unlikely for most of the UK this week, as cloud cover keeps temperatures up. Clearer spells in the north may bring a light ground frost on Wednesday morning.

When does the next band of rain arrive?

Rain pushes into Northern Ireland and western Scotland by Monday evening, then spreads to northern England by Tuesday. The weather radar shows this moving east slowly.

For those planning ahead, the weather forecast tomorrow keeps the South East driest, while the warmest place in the UK today will be around London and the Thames Valley. The BBC Weather UK outlook aligns with this pattern of unsettled but not severe conditions.
