Warm Weekend Ahead, But Wet Weather Looms
5 Sep
Summary
- Temperatures to peak at 24°C this weekend
- Dry spells won't last long as low pressure system approaches
- Northwest England to see more showers on Sunday
As of September 5th, 2025, the UK is set to experience a warm and humid weekend, with temperatures peaking at 24°C. This is due to a "waft of warmer air" moving in from the continent. However, the dry spells won't last long, as a band of low pressure from the Atlantic is quickly approaching to disrupt the brief sunshine.
While the Southeast of England and parts of the East will enjoy the warmth and dryness, the Northwest of England will endure more showers, particularly on Sunday. The low-pressure system moving in from the Atlantic will result in rain, some of it thundery, across Northern Ireland, Lancashire, Cumbria, and most of western Scotland on Sunday afternoon and evening.
The weather maps show a clear east-west divide, with the warmest weather anticipated in the eastern areas throughout the whole weekend. The start of the next week also looks unsettled, with more rain expected across the Northwest of England on Monday, likely to be heaviest over rural areas in west Cumbria.
