For the most reliable snapshot of London’s conditions today, the live forecast above gives you the current temperature, wind and rain chance. For planning ahead, the Met Office’s London outlook is the authoritative source, though BBC London’s own forecast remains a popular quick reference for commuters and visitors.
What’s the best time to visit London for decent weather?
Late spring (May–June) and early autumn (September) offer the most comfortable balance of mild temperatures, longer daylight and lower rainfall. July and August are warmest but can feel crowded and humid, while winter months are cold, dark and often damp. Pack a light waterproof jacket and layers whatever the season — London’s weather can shift quickly.
How reliable are BBC London’s longer-range forecasts?
BBC London’s 10-day and 14-day outlooks give a useful trend, but accuracy drops noticeably beyond five days. For a broader view, the weather in London 10 days and weather london 14 days pages are fine for general planning. The bbc weather london 15 day forecast and bbc weather london 21 day forecast are best treated as broad guidance, not day-by-day certainty. The bbc london weather forecast 30 days is only a seasonal indication.
