London Weather Forecast & AQI – Live Radar

London is a global powerhouse and one of the world's oldest and most influential cities. Since its founding by the Romans as Londinium, it has grown into a vast metropolis that serves as a global center for finance, culture, and history. The city is defined by its iconic landmarks—the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, the British Museum, and the Shard. Its diverse population brings a rich tapestry of languages, cuisines, and traditions, making London a truly cosmopolitan experience.

London's weather is famously unpredictable and is classified as a temperate oceanic climate. While it has a reputation for being rainy, London actually receives less annual rainfall than cities like Rome or New York, but it does have many 'grey' days with light drizzle. Summers (June to August) are generally mild and pleasant, with temperatures averaging around 20-25°C, though heatwaves can occasionally push temperatures above 30°C. Winters (December to February) are cool and damp, with temperatures rarely falling significantly below freezing. Spring and autumn are transitional periods that can see a mix of bright sunshine and sudden showers within the same hour.
