Just happy to see we will get some decent temps in London from next week ❤️

The British obsession with talking about weather is completely justified when you actually think about how genuinely unpredictable and dramatic it is here compared to most of Europe and does anyone else feel vindicated by this?

Everyone jokes about British people and weather conversation. But name another country where you can have four completely distinct seasons in a single afternoon in May. Where a bank holiday can go from genuine warmth to hailstones in ninety minutes. Where the forecast is wrong in interesting new ways every single week. We are not obsessed with weather because we are boring. We are obsessed with it because it is genuinely unhinged here and deserves attention 😅

Every Cloud: Weather by Art.

It's really very simple. And completely free. All artworks are in the public domain.

I love the weather but weather small talk is painful so this gives me something to say now.

Would love feedback!

Four seasons in one day

I know we're famous in the UK for having a lot of weather, but what was going on in the London area today?

Sun, wind, sudden onset of hail, sun, cloud , heavy rain, sun again, lightning-thunder-hail [in the space of about 3 minutes] then sunny five minutes later, back to heavy rain and ended cloudy.

Someone has ordered all all the weather today 🌤🌧🌩🌥⚡️☀️

We got married on Saturday in Petersfield and honestly this sounds made up but the weather deserves its own post 🤣

All week it had been SO nice, amazing sunshine, and then obviously Saturday starts looking a bit questionable. As the days got closer the forecast got more accurate (and worse), and on the Met Office app we could literally see this massive rain cloud heading straight for us. It was one of those “yeah… that’s definitely hitting us” situations, and the timing was right over our drinks reception.

So we just accepted it. No sun, drinks inside, no sunset photos… fine.

Then the night before, in pure desperation, we buried a sausage. No idea why, just thought why not at this point 😂

Anyway… wedding morning = clear skies and sun, actually sunny. Drinks reception was outside for the full 2.5 hours and stayed sunny the whole time. Then I kid you not, as people started going inside to take their seats, it started drizzling at EXACTLY that moment. The timing was actually ridiculous.

We got loads of amazing photos, but assumed that was it now, like the rain’s here and it’s not going anywhere because of how big that cloud was.

But no… right as the sun was setting, the clouds literally PARTED, the sun came back out, and we got the nicest evening photos outside, and it stayed dry for the rest of the night.
Honestly… go bury that sausage. I can’t explain it but I’m fully convinced it works now 🤣

Temperatures reached -6.1C in Scotland last night. Well below average temperatures look like continuing for a while too after a return to average at the weekend (further south). Further North they'll stay below average.

That band of rain over Wales and the Midlands really isn't budging. Looks like it’s going to be a long afternoon.

Source for past weather data.

Hi. Does anyone know where I can find out what the weather was like yesterday? Or last week, or last year even?

All my apps are forecasts and stop at the current moment but I'm keeping a diary and would like to put in what the weather was, rather than what it will be. (And am usually filling in the day after midnight - life is busy and I don't always get to track everything!)

Also, I can't believe that I can't find this data. Am I missing a really obvious website or app? Thanks for your help.

Noticed this really cool cloud bank this afternoon. My small brain is amazed, but what's causing it?

Storm Goretti - Cornwall, UK - Jan 2026 | Powerflash

Some media from my storm chase in Cornwall during Storm Goretti

Am I the only one tired of the shitty ass weather in Manchester?

Nearly every day this year, it's been raining HEAVILY in Manchester on almost any day that it isn't warm, and today we have ANOTHE Rthunderstorm. And even when it's warm, it's shortlived. I can't think of any other year besides 2019, when it was raining this badly. And it's getting worse and worse. We don't have one single day of normal weather anymore.

At this point, it's worse than Seattle. I don't think we're ever gonna have a summer this year.

WeatherWise UK Rain Radar

Just posting this here. Feel like the radar on WeatherWise is a hidden gem for the UK!

Primarily known for its US usage, but last year composite radar was added for the UK.

I know people have their favourites, mine was NetWeather, despite the quality being slightly better there, the WeatherWise one is adequate, and the Storm Chaser mode is a deal-breaking feature for me, which allows navigation with the weather radar overlayed.

Worth a peak at if you're interested!

UK radar is available by clicking Composite on the top, then selecting UK Met Office in the radar setting panel.

I built an interactive weather heatmap to compare holiday destinations by month

I’m the solo founder behind What Hotel and I’ve been building this as part of a wider destination research tool. It shows historic monthly averages for temperature, rain, sunshine and swimming comfort on an interactive worldwide map.
