People in London face a London weather forecast calling for temperatures up to 34C today, with the hottest part of the day expected during the evening rush hour. The Met Office says the capital will be largely sunny and dry, with only a low risk of isolated thundery showers later.
Temperatures are forecast to rise from 26C at 10am to 30C by midday, then stay around 30C at 9pm before easing to 26C by 11pm. Warm and muggy conditions are expected to continue overnight, particularly in urban areas.
Met Office London forecast
The forecast shows heat building through the day rather than fading after the afternoon peak. That leaves the evening commute inside the warmest stretch, with Friday set to remain largely sunny and dry for most, alongside mainly light winds and a maximum temperature of 34C.
The low risk of isolated thundery showers later adds a small break from the dry picture, but the main forecast remains hot and bright. For people in London, that means the day stays warm well into the evening instead of cooling quickly after sunset.
Saturday in London
Saturday is set to be notably cooler, with a maximum temperature of around 28C. The change gives London a sharp drop after today’s 34C peak and a shorter period of extreme heat.
For anyone planning around the heat, the practical window is today: the hottest stretch arrives at rush hour, while the overnight fall to 26C by 11pm leaves little immediate relief. By Saturday, the forecast points to a more manageable day.
