The BBC weather service provides UK-wide forecasts, but for the most accurate local picture you should check the Met Office. In the West Midlands this morning, Birmingham is starting dry with hazy sun, although cloud will thicken from the west by lunchtime, bringing a chance of light rain by evening.
What is the BBC weather forecast for my area today?
For Liverpool and the Merseyside coast, expect a cloudy start with patchy drizzle, brightening up through the afternoon with highs of 13°C. Across the Bristol Channel, Bristol will see a similar pattern: morning mist clearing to sunny spells, though the breeze will pick up later. If you are inland around Sheffield, the day stays largely dry with more cloud than sunshine, and temperatures reaching 11°C. The best of the brightness today is likely further north, with Glasgow enjoying longer spells of sunshine and a top temperature of 14°C.
Will the weather turn unsettled later this week?
Yes, a low-pressure system moving in from the Atlantic will bring more widespread rain and stronger winds from Thursday. The 10-day forecast shows a distinct shift to wetter and windier conditions across all regions, with the heaviest rain likely in western areas like Bristol and Liverpool. Temperatures will hold close to average for late March, but it will feel cooler in the wind.
Why does the BBC forecast sometimes differ from the Met Office?
Both use similar data, but the BBC sources its forecasts from MeteoGroup UK, while the Met Office runs its own models. Small timing differences in rain or cloud can occur, especially in changeable spring weather.
How often is the BBC weather app updated?
The app refreshes its data every hour, with major updates at roughly 6am, 12pm, and 6pm. For live warnings, the Met Office website offers the most current alerts for your area.
Is Sunday looking dry for a walk in the Peak District?
Early signs suggest a ridge of high pressure building from the south, giving Sheffield and the Peak District a mostly dry Sunday with sunny spells. Keep an eye on the BBC 10-day forecast as the week progresses.
