You can find yesterday’s temperature by checking official Met Office records, weather station archives, or online services that store daily max/min and feels-like readings. The live forecast above shows today’s conditions for comparison.
How can I find out what the temperature was yesterday?
The most reliable way to check the weather yesterday in the UK is to use Met Office historical data, which records maximum and minimum temperatures at official weather stations. Many online weather sites also provide a “yesterday” tab or a daily summary for your location. For a quick comparison, the live forecast above gives you today’s actual temperatures, so you can see how they differ from what you remember yesterday. If you need precise figures for a specific place, look for station-level reports from airports or local observatories.
What is the difference between the recorded temperature and the “feels like” temperature?
The recorded temperature is the air temperature measured in a shaded, ventilated screen at standard height. The “feels like” temperature accounts for wind chill, humidity, and sunshine, making it the perceived temperature on your skin. For example, if the warmest place in the UK today recorded 18°C, a brisk breeze could make it feel like 14°C. This is why what was the temperature yesterday in London on a calm day may feel quite different from a windy day with the same reading.
Why might the temperature yesterday near my location have been different from the official reading?
Local variations are common. The Met Office measures temperature at specific stations, often in rural or airport settings, while your street may be in an urban heat island or shaded by buildings. Elevation, proximity to water, and surface cover all affect readings. For instance, the UK weather hub shows that Manchester city centre can be 1–2°C warmer than the official station at Ringway. So if you are checking what was the temperature yesterday near Manchester, expect a range of values depending on the exact source.
How does yesterday’s temperature compare with the live forecast above?
The live conditions above show current and forecast temperatures for today. By monitoring them, you can get a feel for whether yesterday was unusually warm or cold relative to the next 24 hours. For example, if the live forecast shows highs of 20°C, but yesterday you experienced 25°C, that pattern may align with a heatwave or a passing warm front. Always consider that local readings may differ from the regional update shown in the widget.
What was the highest temperature in London yesterday?
You can find the highest temperature in London yesterday by checking Met Office data for stations such as St James’s Park or Heathrow. Historical records typically list the daily maximum. The live forecast above shows today’s high for comparison, so you can see if yesterday was part of a warm spell.
What was the temperature last night in my location?
Night-time minimum temperatures are recorded between 9pm and 9am the next morning. To find what was the temperature last night in your location, look for “overnight minimum” on weather websites or use the Met Office’s archive. The live forecast above gives tonight’s expected low, helping you gauge typical conditions.
