Breakfast brief
Gloomy day with little sunshine

Weather radar showing overcast conditions over the UK and Ireland. Light rain showers and small patches of rain can be seen.
A gloomy day with passing light rain showers and snow for some.

Kickstarting your day

Welcome to the Breakfast Brief, your first forecast for the day and a chance to catch up on what you may have missed.

Weather outlook

Another widely overcast day ahead, with little sunshine across the UK and Ireland amid light rain and snow over higher ground. Only small areas will glimpse the late-winter Sun, mainly in western to central Scotland and the Shetland Islands.

Temperatures start at or near freezing across the UK, though Ireland does see a little more warmth, with highs rising to upper-single digits through the day.

Ireland and much of Scotland still see gusting winds today, which do ease overnight before returning on Thursday.

Super Typhoon Bavi threatens Taiwan. Up to 1,000 mm of rain. . . Wednesday, 8 July 2026
The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
