The notion of stationary reflection is one of the most important notions of combinatorial set theory. Weak reflection, which is, as its name suggests, a weak version of stationary reflection, is investigated. The main result is that modulo a large cardinal assumption close to 2-hugeness, there can be a regular cardinal $\kappa$ such that the first cardinal weakly reflecting at $\kappa$ is the successor of a singular cardinal. This answers a question of Cummings, Džamonja and Shelah.
