Practical weather notes for London

London sits inland from the open sea but close enough to the Atlantic that weather systems roll through quickly. Rain rarely lasts all day here — it is far more common to get short spells of drizzle between longer dry stretches, so checking the hour-by-hour forecast pays off more than the daily summary.

Seasons in London

Winters are mild and grey rather than cold, and summers rarely turn extreme, but a warm, sunny afternoon can still be followed by a much cooler evening. Layering is the safest approach whatever the season.

Frequently asked questions

How often is the forecast updated?
The live weather data refreshes several times a day, so you're always seeing the latest forecast for London.

Is the 14-day forecast reliable?
The first few days are usually the most accurate. Further ahead, the forecast mainly shows a trend rather than the exact weather at a specific hour.

What should I check before heading outside?
Look at the combination of rain, wind and feels-like temperature. A short trip can handle a passing shower, but a longer walk or bike ride benefits from a more stable stretch of weather.
