We’re finally expected to get the rest of the summer we’ve been waiting for.
Many people across the country have agreed that this summer’s weather has been, well underwhelming. Chilly, rainy, windy and gloomy, the last month has been a disappointment for Brits hoping for some essential Vitamin D and mood-boosting sunshine after a glorious June.
But at last, we’re due to see some more heat in London, with temperatures reaching 26C. After days of rain, the sun is finally going to appear regularly, according to forecasts from the Met Office and the BBC.
The Met Office is reporting sunshine from Sunday, August 6, through to next weekend, with the mercury ascending each day until Thursday, August 10. That day, Londoners can expect highs of 26C and lots of sunshine, making a change from what we’ve seen so far. Only Tuesday threatens to be a day you might need to have a raincoat to hand.
Even in the coming days, it’s still going to feel much warmer and more like the summer we know and desperately need. Monday is expected to reach highs of 22C with sunshine all morning until 2 pm.
Tuesday is set to be slightly less promising, with light rain forecast during the afternoon, and Wednesday brings the sun back out. Temperatures will climb to 24C that day, with sunshine forecast all day.
Thursday will be the best day of the week, weather-wise, with highs of 26C and a soft breeze. The sun appears to overexert itself and will fade for a rest on Friday, occasionally occurring but leaving the temperature a tad cooler, with highs of 24C.
The BBC adds that on Friday, it could rain during the morning, and has predicted more chance of the sun during the day. The last day of the forecast at the moment from the Met Office is Saturday, August 12, when temperatures are due to drop further down to 21C with the occasional spot or two of rain.
The BBC’s London forecast persists further into the following week and is predicting mostly sunshine, with temperatures sitting at around 22-24C.
