According to the live ranking above, London Heathrow is the warmest place in the UK today, with temperatures peaking at 22°C under clear skies.
Why is the south-east often the warmest?
Southern England, particularly the London area, regularly tops temperature charts because of its southerly latitude, urban heat island effect and shelter from Atlantic weather systems. The combination of light winds and strong May sunshine keeps readings well above the UK average.
- London Heathrow and St James’s Park frequently record the highest daily maxima.
- The South East and East Anglia also challenge for the hottest spot, with 23°C possible in inland Kent today.
- Coastal resorts such as Brighton stay a few degrees cooler due to sea breezes.
- The coldest place in the UK right now is likely the Scottish Highlands, where single-digit highs persist.
Will this warmth last into the weekend?
High pressure holds until Saturday, meaning the hottest place in the UK this weekend will probably stay in the south-east. A weak front may bring cloud to the north-west on Sunday, but southern cities like Bristol could still touch 21°C. Our 10 day forecast has the full outlook.
