This may be an odd change from the four heatwaves we’ve had this year
The latest London weather forecast is in, and it’s ominous. Forecasters down at the BBC are predicting the possibility of thunder next Tuesday (August 4), which may be an odd concept for some, as we’ve just left our fourth heatwave of the year.
It will be 27C, thundery showers and a gentle breeze. The Met Office doesn’t predict thunder that day, but it also says there is a 30 per cent chance of rainfall between 10am and 2pm.
Meanwhile WX Charts predicts heavy rainfall on Monday evening (August 3). The heaviness of the rainfall is characterised by the shading over a given area.
So the orange colouring over London means as much as four inches of rain could fall in an hour.
It came after temperatures peaked at around 39C and 40C in some cases.
London weather
Today (Friday, July 31) will see extensive sunshine will develop in the afternoon before a few patches of cloud return by the evening. One or two showers cannot be ruled out under these in the evening. Warm.
Whereas tonight will be dry and there will be lengthy clear spells for most albeit a few patches of cloud may build in at times.
Tomorrow (Saturday, August 1) will become largely dry and sunny for a time. Some areas of cloud will develop in the afternoon, these clearing through the evening. Another warm day.
While Sunday (August 2) to Tuesday (August 4) will be varied. Sunday will see a mostly sunny and warm or very warm day with just a few patches of cloud around. Remaining generally dry and hot on Monday (Augsut 3) with large amounts of sunshine, but there is a
growing risk of heavy, thundery showers through the evening and overnight. Tuesday looks to see early lingering showers gradually die out to leave it dry and sunny during the afternoon.
