London is set to experience some unseasonably warm weather this week, with temperatures expected to reach 20C. The warm and humid air mass coming from the western Mediterranean and northwest Africa will bring these higher temperatures to the UK. However, along with the warm weather comes the risk of heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms.
The Met Office has issued Yellow National Severe Weather Warnings for rain in southeast Northern Ireland, Wales, and western parts of England, with some areas possibly seeing up to 80 mm of rain in just 6 hours. As we move through the week, there will be further bands of rain and showers moving across the country, but temperatures will remain mild for this time of year.
On Friday, a low pressure system could bring strong winds to the north and west, potentially causing coastal impacts. The weekend will continue to be unsettled, with more rain expected and the possibility of widespread strong winds, especially in northern and western areas. There is still uncertainty about the strength and track of this low-pressure system, so it’s important to stay updated on the latest forecast.
Overall, Londoners can expect a mix of warm temperatures, rain, and potential strong winds in the coming days. It’s always a good idea to be prepared for any changes in the weather, so stay informed and stay safe.
