London Sizzles at 27°C This Week—But Thunderstorms Loom Large
Hey everyone, if you’ve stepped outside lately, you’ve probably felt the early hints of summer finally arriving in London. And the forecast? Well, it’s heating up—literally. London is on track to reach a high of 27°C this week, possibly even touching 29°C in parts of the southeast and central England. So yes, it's going to feel more like Barcelona than Britain—but don’t pack away your umbrellas just yet.
According to the Met Office, we’re in for some beautiful sunshine, especially through Tuesday and Wednesday. Skies are expected to stay mostly clear in the capital, which means a perfect opportunity to soak up the sun. Friday, in particular, is set to be the warmest day with plenty of sunshine bathing the city. But before you start planning picnics or dusting off your BBQ grill, there’s a twist in the tale—thunderstorms are brewing.

That’s right. While most of London may enjoy uninterrupted sunshine midweek, things could take a sharp turn from Thursday evening onwards. A warm, moisture-rich plume of air, moving up from Iberia and parts of North Africa, is expected to clash with cooler Atlantic air. This mix is a classic recipe for sudden and intense thunderstorms. The Met Office is already warning that we might see 20 to 40mm of rainfall in just a few hours, especially in western regions—but it could impact the capital too if conditions shift.
Deputy Chief Meteorologist Mike Silverstone even hinted that thunderstorm warnings might be issued. And while there are no official warnings in place yet, the potential for disruption is real. Along with the rising temperatures, we’re also looking at increased humidity. So it’s not just going to be hot—it might feel sticky and uncomfortable, especially at night when temperatures are expected to stay on the warmer side, possibly disrupting sleep for many Londoners.
Looking ahead to the weekend, things might cool down a little, but not before we get a full dose of summer heat—with a side of thunder. It’s a bit of a weather rollercoaster, really. One moment it’s all sun and good vibes, the next you could be caught in a downpour with thunder rumbling overhead.
So, the takeaway? Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts, keep an eye on the skies, and maybe keep your rain jacket handy just in case. London weather is doing what it does best—keeping us guessing. Stay cool, stay dry, and maybe cancel that outdoor dinner just to be safe.
