Live forecasts update automatically; written guidance last reviewed 16 June 2026 by the The UK Daily weather desk. Data from national met services via Open-Meteo.
As of Tuesday morning, there is no named storm affecting the UK, but a deep low-pressure system is bringing strong winds and heavy rain to northern Scotland, where a yellow warning for wind is in force until midday. The rest of the country will see blustery showers, with drier conditions expected by Wednesday.
Are there any storm warnings in place today?
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for wind across the Northern Isles and parts of the Scottish mainland, valid until midday Tuesday. Gusts of 50–60 mph are possible, with a risk of coastal gales. No other warnings are active, but a separate band of rain moving south-east may bring localised flooding in Cumbria and North Yorkshire.
For the latest bulletins, check our storm warnings UK today page.
When is the next storm expected to hit Britain?
Forecast models suggest a deepening Atlantic low may approach the south-west on Thursday, with the potential to be named as Storm Clodagh if it meets Met Office criteria. However, confidence remains low. For live updates, see our 10 Day Weather Forecast UK page.
Keep an eye on the weekend outlook too: there is a chance of a storm to hit Britain this weekend, though timelines could shift.
What qualifies as a named storm?
The Met Office names a storm when it is expected to cause medium or high impacts from wind, rain, or snow. A named storm is not declared for every low-pressure system; only those with significant disruption potential.
Is there a storm in the UK right now live?
No named storm is currently active, but a windy low-pressure system is affecting northern areas. Live radar on the Met Office website shows the rain band moving south-east. No red or amber warnings are issued at this time.
Should I prepare for the incoming weather?
If you are in northern Scotland, secure loose items and avoid coastal paths during the yellow wind warning. Elsewhere, check the weather warnings page for updates. A Cold Weather Payment Checker may help if temperatures drop.
