The weather in London by months and seasons of the year

Weather in London in Winter

The winter season officially takes place between December 21 and March 21, although by winter we always refer to the coldest time of the year, which in London usually coincides with the months between November and February.

The weather in London during the month of November is usually quite cold, and it is usually necessary to go outside with a coat, something important to keep in mind if you are thinking of visiting London in winter. In November London begins to prepare for one of the most beautiful times of the year, Christmas in London . During the month of December in London is when we usually see the first snowflakes fall, and the truth is that there is nothing more Christmassy than seeing snow in London . In December the days are usually quite short in London since it gets dark at 4 in the afternoon, but the truth is that at night is when we can enjoy the most of the Christmas lights in London. The weather in London during the months of January and February is, according to my own experience, the coldest of the year, but it is also when the days begin to be a little longer, since it gradually begins to get dark a little later. In March we usually still wear our coats in London, although some days we are surprised by rays of sunshine that begin to warn us that spring is approaching, and it is necessary to take our coats off from time to time.

In conclusion, if you are going to visit London during the winter, I would recommend you to bring a coat, scarf and gloves and good shoes so that your toes do not freeze!

London weather in spring

The spring season takes place between March 21 and June 21, and the weather in London in spring is usually very pleasant. At the end of March is when we change the time to summer time in London, and this time change makes the days much longer, and as soon as the sun rises a little, what we most want is to walk through the wonderful parks of London that begin to bloom.

At the end of March the weather is usually better in London, and the coat begins to be too much and we feel more like putting on a slightly thinner jacket. This time of year usually coincides with the Easter holidays, and it is very common to visit London at Easter.. In April the days are already a bit warmer in London, but I would still recommend bringing a jacket. And the month of May in London is one of my favourites, because since we live here the weather in London in May is usually fantastic. There are usually one or two weeks in May in London when the sun comes out and we tend to be quite hot (at least compared to the winter that just passed!) and that’s when we start to wear a T-shirt in London. But as always, the weather in London can be a bit unpredictable and sometimes it surprises us, for example in 2016 when it suddenly snowed at the beginning of April!

London weather in summer

The summer season officially starts on June 21st and ends on September 21st, and there is no doubt that it coincides with the hottest months of the year in London. The weather in London in summer can be spectacular, although the real heat can last for a short time, I’m happy to say that you can really enjoy the summer in London. It is usually the perfect time to go in a T-shirt (although sometimes you need a cardigan for the afternoon) and it is not usually that terrible heat that prevents you from walking to enjoy the city.

During the summer months in London there are usually many events in the different parks of London, as well as many free things to enjoy in the city. Visiting London in summer is a wise decision, since you can walk through the parks to enjoy them to the fullest, in addition to walking around the city being able to take advantage of the long days we have in summer in London.

Weather in London in Autumn

The autumn season takes place between the 21st of September and the 21st of December, and this is when the weather in London can suddenly change to give way to the arrival of the cold… At the end of September in London, as well as during the month October, if we’re lucky it might have some pretty nice days, but I have to say there are years when summer sometimes ends a bit drastically in London, and autumn in London can appear from one day to the next without notice.

That said, autumn is one of the most beautiful times in London, as the parks are covered in leaves and it is impossible to walk through one of the parks without taking a photo! In addition, the arrival of the cold in autumn in London is something that reminds us that one of the most magical times in London is approaching: Christmas. In London in autumn you will need a jacket for sure, and sometimes even a coat is not bad…

The current weather in London 2022: What clothes to bring if you are going to visit London

Our experience: Well… I have to say that we have been living in London since 2010 and no, it doesn’t rain every day!!!! We came thinking that it was going to be constantly cold, that in summer we were going to have to wear a coat and that we were going to break 10 umbrellas a year. It’s not as hot and sunny as in Spain, of course, but it’s not that bad! The only thing that has caught our attention is that the weather changes very quickly here, it dawns sunny, and after a while it starts to rain, it rains for 15 minutes and the sun comes out again…

As the weather in London can be totally unpredictable, and it can be very cold in the middle of June or surprisingly enough time to have a drink on a terrace in winter, here I am adding information about the current weather in London so that you can get an idea of the weather that does.

I always advise everyone who comes that it is best to come “in onion style” with layers to be able to put on and take off as needed, since you really never know.

The weather in London in January 2022

December 5th: It’s already getting quite cold, so cold that the first snowflakes fell in central London at the end of last week! But the good thing is that even though it’s cold we’ve been having very sunny days, I recommend bringing a coat, hat, scarf and gloves.

If you are planning to visit London soon don’t forget to take a look at our Christmas in London and New Year’s Eve in London sections.
December 12: On Sunday December 10 it snowed in London (you can see a video on our Facebook profile!) and today the sidewalks are still frozen and icy on cars and lawns in the neighborhoods that are a little on the outskirts of London, while in the center everything has already melted. But it is very cold so I recommend a hat, gloves, scarf and a good coat!

Weather in London 2018:

January 19: Sunny days but quite cold, we go with a coat, gloves and a scarf, we must wrap up! In London it is done during the day at 8 am and at night at 4.30 pm.
February 9: It’s getting really cold! We are in the coldest time of winter in London, and there are days when the maximum temperature currently does not rise above 5ºC! So I recommend you bring warm clothes, a coat, gloves, a scarf and some good photos so that our toes do not freeze!
February 15: After many days of very cold… today the Sun has risen and although it is cold, it is not as cold as it has been these last few days in London! The coat, the scarf and the gloves are still missing in London.
March 1: Snow, snow and more snow!
March 19: After a week of sunshine in which we reached 14°C, this past weekend it snowed again. Today it was sunny but it is still very cold, with about 3°C, so I recommend you to bring a good coat, gloves and a scarf.
May 5: Sun, Sun and Sun and heat! This weekend that coincides with the holiday Monday, May 7 , we will reach maximums of 27ºC and we do not expect a cloud! We Londoners wear summer clothes, t-shirts, sandals and shorts, but as you know I recommend a jacket because here you never know! We are going to have a spectacular Little Venice festival =)
June 11: The weather is very good and an ideal temperature, we go with a t-shirt and during the day it is hot enough to go in shorts and sandals. Yes, I recommend a cardigan and a jacket because you already know that here the weather changes drastically from one day to the next, although I had said that sunny and hot days are coming
June 14: Although today was a bit cloudier and a raincoat was needed in case it rained, it was a pleasant day. I think it’s official: Summer is here in London , with its many summer events and picnics in the parks !
June 23: Sun and heat! T-shirt and sandals =) although don’t forget a jacket that cools down in the afternoon 😉

August 16: After weeks and weeks of pure summer, it has cooled down a bit, and we have had two days of rain. Although it is not very cold, I would recommend bringing layering clothes, a short-sleeved t-shirt, a cardigan and a raincoat just in case, although it is not expected to rain during the next week and expect maximum temperatures of 23ºC and sunshine during the next few days.
August 29: We have had a week with cloudy skies and some rains, but starting tomorrow better weather awaits us, and a good weekend awaits us. I am wearing jeans, closed shoes and a short-sleeved T-shirt, but with a raincoat on top. Something fine with long sleeves is still not bad if you are used to the heat of Spain!
September 29: Summer is definitely ending in London to give way to autumn, and it is getting cooler. We go with long-sleeved shirts and a cardigan but there are days when it is also necessary to take a jacket or a scarf for the neck.
October 20: They are doing very nice days, sunny. During the day in the sun, a coat or jacket is superfluous, but in the morning and at sunset, a thin coat or jacket is needed.
December 13: Although it is not yet as cold as it can get in London, it is already noticeable that we are at the end of the year! Definitely coat and I recommend a scarf or neckerchief, at the moment I don’t wear gloves but I would recommend bringing a pair just in case. This weekend it seems that the temperatures are going to drop quite a bit, but it seems that for next week they will rise a little again.

Weather in London 2019:

January 23: Today we have seen the first snowflakes that have covered the roofs and trees in white. As you can imagine, it’s quite cold! So coat, scarf and gloves without a doubt!
February 18: Yesterday, Sunday, there was a wonderful sun in the morning, we were in the Southbank area (where the London Eye is) and we had the first ice cream of the year in the street, but the best thing of all is that we had extra coats! The temperature will rise to 15°C by the end of this week. Even so, I recommend bringing a jacket or light coat, because it cools down in the afternoon!
March 17: This week has been very windy and it seems that the cold has returned a little. We wear a coat or jacket, but we no longer wear gloves or a hat, although at night the truth is that there is no need to wear a scarf around our necks. This week they say it’s going to be rather cloudy, with highs of 17°C and lows of 9°C, but it doesn’t say it’s going to rain.
April 19: Easter in London coincided with a heat wave!!! We arrived this weekend at 25ºC, and now we really have plenty of jackets.
June 12: We have had summer days at the beginning of the month, with maximum temperatures of 27°C, but these last few days it has been raining and temperatures have dropped to maximums of 15°C one day. We wear jeans, a thin long-sleeved shirt and a raincoat. But if you are cold, a thicker cardigan or jacket will do you no harm. It’s going to keep raining for a few days before it gets hot again!
June 23: Yesterday it was hot and sunny and today, although it is cloudy, it is hot, reaching 25°C. This week the temperature seems to remain high, but it will rain a little for a couple of days. At the moment we are going with short sleeves and sandals, although slippers go very well and I recommend a cardigan or something long-sleeved for those of you who are not used to British weather!
July 22: Heat. Last week it rained a lot, but this week we expect sunny and hot days, reaching 34°C on Thursday! Let’s go summer, with sandals, t-shirts and shorts, but bring a raincoat and closed shoes just in case!
August 10: It has been hot and true summer days, but today it is very windy and it rains intermittently. It’s not cold though! We wear jeans, a t-shirt and a raincoat. Closed shoe. Starting tomorrow they give us highs of 22°C and days with sun and clouds but no rain.
September 21: Today it is sunny and we reach 25ºC, at the moment we are wearing a short-sleeved shirt and jeans, but starting tomorrow it seems that autumn is coming… A week with rain awaits us and it seems that the temperatures are beginning to drop. It gets dark at 7.15 pm more or less.
October 13: Yesterday it was raining all day, and this morning we got up with rain but at noon the sun has already risen. It is colder, with maximum temperatures of 15°C during the day. We wear long sleeves and a thin jacket or coat at the moment.
October 29: With the time change last weekend it’s already dark at 5pm in London, and it’s suddenly started to get quite cold! You already need a coat.
November 15: It’s already quite cold… So dress warmly, and those of us who are coldest don’t have enough gloves in the afternoon… Highs of 9°C and lows of 5°C. It’s already Christmas in London …

Weather in London 2020:

January 9: It is not very cold at the moment, today it has been sunny in the morning and rainy in the afternoon. We are wearing a coat, but with a maximum temperature of 12ºC, I did not need a scarf today.
February 1: Sun. Highs of 13°C. We wear a coat, a scarf for the neck. In the sun it’s not really cold… Tomorrow the temperature rises to 14°C but on Tuesday it drops again to 9.
February 13: We have had a few days with a lot of wind, and rain, due to storm Ciara. But today, it was a very London day, cold in the morning, sun, then rain, then sun… and so on all day! It rained for about 10 minutes and then the sun came out. We wear a coat and gloves and a scarf are appreciated when the sun goes down…
