Much of the UK gets off to a sunny start on Wednesday, but there will be some cloud around in southwestern England and large parts of Scotland at sunrise, with some showers around in these places too. However, as the day goes on much of the cloud recedes to give way to a bright sunny afternoon for the UK, but the risk of showers in the southwest will remain. This is the Met Office UK Weather forecast for the morning of 14/05/2025. Bringing you today’s weather forecast is Clare Nasir.

00:00Hello there, welcome to your Wednesday morning weather update from the Met Office.
00:05There's some subtle changes in our weather today, all due to the orientation of the wind,
00:10which will make it feel cooler along the east coast.
00:13But for the whole country, high pressure is certainly dominating.
00:17It's really the flow around this high, which is allowing for these temperatures to struggle a little bit towards the east there.
00:24And that's the case probably for the rest of the week.
00:27And by night, more cloud just drifting in from the North Sea.
00:32Through this morning then, one or two showers can't be ruled out across Devon and Cornwall.
00:36For the bulk of England wells, as well as Northern Ireland, some fine weather coming through, some blue sky and sunshine.
00:41We're running to this low cloud though, northeast England down towards east Yorkshire borders as well as the central belt.
00:48This cloud is thick at times in places, but it will fade through the day.
00:53Fine to start the day across central and northern areas of Scotland.
00:55A bit cool across the glens though, first thing.
00:58Now through the morning, we watch as this cloud gradually breaks as it drifts southwards.
01:04And that means by around mid-morning, even this zone here will be bathed in some lovely mid-May sunshine.
01:11Through the day, the cloud could build across one or two spots towards the west country.
01:14You could see one or two showers here, which could turn heavy.
01:17They'd be fairly scattered.
01:18And also some heavy showers, which could turn thundery for the Republic of Ireland.
01:23Here are your temperatures through the afternoon then.
01:2522 for the western side of Scotland.
01:2718 for Northern Ireland.
01:2821 to 23 for Wales.
01:3124 down towards the southeast of England.
01:34But along this east coast, probably around the mid-teens.
01:3717 or 18 for Norfolk and Suffolk.
01:40So yes, a real contrast in temperature.
01:42But where you see that sunshine, it will be high UV levels.
01:46Now through this evening and overnight, not a lot of change.
01:50Again, with the flow coming in from the North Sea, you could see more cloud across the eastern strip of Scotland.
01:55And moving in across the Midlands, eastern counties of England.
01:59Now a bit of a cooler start to the day come Thursday further west.
02:03But certainly west will be best in terms of sunshine, strong sunshine at that.
02:08But the cloud will break elsewhere, allowing for some fine weather through the afternoon on Thursday.
02:13Contrasting temperature though, still the 20s where you see the sunshine in the west.
02:16And here's your outlook for Friday.
02:18It's a similar setup, similar mechanism to our weather with that breeze coming in from the North Sea.
02:24And the cloud could be a bit stubborn on this east coast through the afternoon, fine further west.
02:29Wherever you are, have a lovely day.
02:30I'll see you again soon.
