Detailed seasonal weather information & links

London has a temperate climate with distinct seasonal changes in weather, generally no extremes of hot and cold and frequent light precipitation year round.
London had a micro-climate known as an ‘urban heat island’, where the mass of heated buildings and people result in temperatures that are a couple of degrees warmer than outside of the city. As a result, London is one the warmest places in the UK and very rarely sees snowfall in the city.
Also, contrary to popular belief, average annual rainfall in London is not particularly high – Sydney, for example has higher annual rainfall. It’s just that there are a high number of those grey drizzly days… Total rainfall may not be that high, but the number of ‘rainy days’ is.
Mild and damp is a good way to describe London’s climate.
Weather can vary a lot from year to year; perhaps you might get a particularly cold winter, or a particularly wet summer, or a very hot one. That’s the thing if you come to visit London; you just don’t quite know what you’re going to get.
