London Weather

London weather is very unpredictable. It is commonly said that you can have the weather of all four seasons in a single day! So be prepared.


As the saying goes … there is no such thing as bad weather, only wrong clothing.

A top tip is to pack one of those pocket umbrellas in your bag!

Spring

Spring in London runs from around March until May. Temperatures are in the region of 11&deg to 15&deg C (52&deg to 59&deg F) and with the arrival of British Summer Time at the end of March, the days start getting longer. However, be prepared for a bit of rain because spring is well known for it’s April Showers – there can be a downpour one minute and then it will be sunny the next!
