Environment Agency

London & South East England weather forecast

Headline:

Sunny in east, cloud thickening in west. Becoming warm.

Today:

Sunny for many and becoming warm, but hazier with high cloud in western areas. Perhaps thicker cloud later in the west. Breezy for most, with strong winds along coasts. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Tonight:

Thicker cloud in the west may give some rain in the far west, perhaps heavy. Elsewhere thinner cloud may allow some clear spells. Winds easing, but staying breezy on coasts. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Friday:

Dry and becoming warm, with early cloud gradually clearing to leave a sunny afternoon. Becoming windy again, particularly so along coasts. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Dry and mostly sunny, perhaps with some overnight fog or low cloud. Winds gradually easing. Cooler than recent days, especially near eastern coasts. Risk of overnight frost.

Updated: 05:00 (UTC+1) on Thu 3 Apr 2025

UK long range weather forecast

High pressure should prevail for most of the outlook period, maintaining largely settled conditions for much of the time. This should result in lengthy spells of dry and bright weather. It will be breezy at times, especially in the southwest at first. Daytime temperatures will depend on the wind direction and cloud amounts, but most places will be warm for most of the period, and very warm days most likely will be further inland. Overnight frosts are possible on clear nights where winds fall light. There is also the chance of some areas of low cloud or fog, notably around the east coast. Towards the middle of April, the weather may turn more unsettled as rain or showers try to push in from the west.

Updated: 15:00 (UTC+1) on Wed 2 Apr 2025

An unsettled period is expected around mid April, with interludes of rain or showers at times. Despite being unsettled, there will be fair conditions between weather systems. A return to high pressure is signalled later in the month, bringing mainly dry and fine weather. Temperatures are likely to be around average at first, before climbing to above average later in the more settled weather. This means some warm or very warm days, especially further inland where winds stay light on fair days. This could also mean there might still be some chilly nights any clear skies.
