What is the weather in Reading today and this week?
Reading, situated in the Thames Valley and bordered by the Berkshire Downs to the south, often sees weather that arrives from the west. The live forecast above shows a fairly typical pattern: a weak front bringing patchy cloud and a small chance of rain. For the rest of the week, expect a gradual build of high pressure, meaning drier conditions and lighter winds from Wednesday onwards. Overnight temperatures could dip low enough for a touch of ground frost in the outlying villages towards Sonning and Woodley.
What is the weather like in Reading compared to nearby areas?
Because Reading lies inland, it tends to be a couple of degrees cooler than London but milder than the higher ground of the North Wessex Downs. The town misses the worst of the coastal winds that affect the south coast, but fog can be more persistent here in the Kennet Valley during autumn mornings. For a broader look at conditions across the country, see our UK weather hub. For comparison with the west, check the Bristol Weather page.
