It’s been a steamy summer to remember, with no fewer than three heatwaves leaving Londoners sweltering through June and July, followed by weeks of cooler weather and rainfall. Luckily, more pleasant, balmy weather is on the way – with London set for 11 days of continuous sunshine as temperature stay securely in the mid to high 20s.
While the next few days will have some clouds and a light breeze, BBC Weather predict the first of our 11 days of sunshine will hit on Saturday, August 9, with climes reaching a high of 26C. The forecaster predicts “sunny” weather throughout the ensuing 11 days, lasting right up to Tuesday, August 19.
Peak temperatures are expected to be relatively stable, hovering between 25C and 28C, and the hottest day is predicted to be Tuesday, August 12. (28C).
The Met Office said: “Looking towards mid-August, and high pressure is more likely to dominate the weather across the UK. This will bring plenty of dry weather for the most part. Above average temperatures are more likely than not, especially in the south, where it could also be rather humid. High pressure, and therefore largely settled conditions overall, appears more likely for the second half of August. Although dry weather is likely to dominate, periods of rain or showers and thunderstorms may develop at times. Above average temperatures overall seem most likely, with the potential for hot spells to develop, especially in the east and south.”
