Londoners can expect a weekend with a mix of weather conditions, starting with rain on Friday and moving into drier, yet breezy, days on Saturday and Sunday. Temperatures will be relatively mild, and those venturing out should prepare for variable weather. Here’s a detailed forecast for each day:

Friday: The day will begin with cloudy skies and persistent rain, which is expected to clear later. Temperatures will range from a maximum of 16°C to a minimum of 8°C. Humidity will be quite high at 77%, and there is a 100% chance of precipitation. Winds will be moderate, clocking in at 20 mph. It would be wise to carry an umbrella and perhaps a waterproof jacket if you’re out in the morning or early afternoon.

Saturday: Expect partly cloudy conditions throughout the day, making it a bright and clear at times with fleeting clouds. The maximum temperature will be around 15°C and the minimum 8°C. With a humidity level of 75% and only a 3% chance of precipitation, it will be considerably drier than Friday. However, be prepared for breezy conditions, as wind speeds will rise to 28 mph.

Sunday: Sunday will be similar to Saturday in terms of partly cloudy skies. Expect cooler temperatures with a maximum of 13°C, while the minimum remains at 8°C. Humidity will drop to 51% and there’s a 16% chance of rain. Winds will continue to be brisk at 28 mph. It will be another dry day with occasional sunshine, perfect for outdoor pursuits.

Commuting Advice

Friday commuters should plan for wet road conditions and potential delays due to rain, especially during the morning rush hour. Although conditions will improve later, be cautious of strong winds throughout the weekend, particularly on Saturday and Sunday. Make use of public transport where possible to avoid traffic disruptions.

Advice for Weekend Plans

Those planning outdoor activities should consider scheduling them for Saturday or Sunday, as the weather will be drier compared to Friday. Be prepared for windy conditions, especially if you’re visiting parks or open spaces. Indoor events will offer a respite from the wind, but if you are al fresco dining or taking a walk, Saturday and Sunday will provide more favourable conditions.
