According to the live ranking above, the warmest place in the UK today is London, where temperatures are reaching 22°C under clear skies, as southern England benefits from the strongest sunshine and light winds.
Where exactly is the warmest spot in the UK today?
The live ranking shows London at the top, with the Greater London area recording the highest temperatures. Nearby counties such as Surrey and Kent are also seeing highs close to 21°C. The warmth is driven by a ridge of high pressure sitting over the south-east, drawing up mild air from the continent. Further north, Scotland and Northern Ireland are cooler, with the coldest place in the UK right now likely to be the Scottish Highlands, where single figures are common.
Will the warmest place change tomorrow or this weekend?
For the hottest place in UK tomorrow, the same southern bias is expected, though a shift in wind direction could push the peak into East Anglia. By the weekend, a weak weather front may bring cloud to the south-east, so the hottest place in UK this weekend could shift west towards Bristol or Cardiff.

Is the warmest place always in the south?
Not always. In summer, southern England often tops the list, but in spring and autumn, inland areas like the Midlands can be warmer, especially when winds come from the south-west. A warmest place in UK today map shows local variations due to altitude and coastal effects.
