Breakfast brief
Umbrellas at the ready, then big coats!

While Kirk passes to our south, more showers are on the menu for the UK and Ireland, and it'll be turning colder.

Kickstarting your morning

Welcome to the breakfast brief, offering your daily weather forecast and a sneak peek at the day's news. 

Weather outlook

Plenty of showers across the UK throughout the day, some for Ireland too and with bright spells breaking through at times.

Turning colder through the day as winds switch round to the north, driving in arctic air with temperatures taking a dive.

By early Thursday morning temperatures could be sub-zero across parts of Scotland, perhaps accompanied by a few light snow showers in the Highlands, with a patchy frost possible elsewhere as skies continue to clear to the south.

What's coming up in the news

Your mid-week weather trend arrives this afternoon with the latest outlook across the UK and Ireland.

Plus, updates on Hurricane Milton which dramatically strengthened to category 5 as it approaches Florida, still recovering from the impact of Hurricane Helene.

Severe weather hits Mallorca and Italy. Severe thunderstorms. . . Thursday, 10 September 2026
Numerous thunderstorms are sweeping across La Palma. The many lightning symbols on the radar and lightning map show that there is heavy lightning activity across large parts of the island. The thunderstorms are striking particularly in the island’s interior and in the south. On the right, you can see the aftermath: a large fallen tree has buried a car beneath it. Emergency services are clearing up the damage. So, along with the thunderstorms, not only heavy rain but also gusts of wind can become a problem.

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.
