WEATHER

Done by: Daniel Arriaga Fuentes.

London has a fairly typical temperate climate. The warmest time of year is between July and September with the highest recorded temperature of over 38°C seen in August 2003.
The rest of the year, weather can vary dramatically and change at the drop of a hat. It is not unusual to see rain in June and is advisable to carry an umbrella at all times in April.
The reputation of London is of a grey, rainy climate, but in reality has been far from it in recent years. Mainly attributed to global warming, it is more likely to see a drought in London these days, with locals regularly being banned from using garden hoses in summer months.
The winter rarely sees snow, but when it does all London slows to a halt. It can get windy and very cold, at which point is is common to see the pubs at their busiest, particularly those with open fires.
London and the South East have one of the mildest climates in UK, but the weather can be unpredictable. Londoners get used to carrying both an umbrella and sunglasses to be prepared for all eventualities!
Summer Weather
Summer can be very pleasant with temperatures averaging 18°C (64°F) and often into the low 20s. In recent years London has experienced heatwaves with temperatures well above 30°C (86°F).

The weather's been very crisp (Primrose Hill's grass was frozen) but mostly dry.. In the summertime you can't see the buildings through all the leaves!

Spring and Autumn Weather
Spring and autumn see temperatures of around 11° to 15°C (52 to 59°F). Evenings are lighter for longer with the advent of British Summer Time at the end of March (until end October).
Winter Weather
Typical temperatures for winter are between 2 and 6°C (36 to 43°F). Temperatures don't often drop below freezing and snow isn't common – although February 2007 London experienced a couple of days of snowfall and an army of snowmen popped up all over the city!

Rainfall in London
The number of rainy days (with more than 0.25mm of rainfall) is fairly consistent throughout the year, with between 11 and 15 rainy days every month. Overall rainfall is highest in November and August (64 mm and 59mm respectively) and is lowest in March and April (37mm each).

This morning, it rained. Then it was sunny. Then it rained. Then it was cloudy. Then the sun came out
