So, You're Packing for London? Don't Get Caught Out by the Weather!
Ah, London! Land of Big Ben, fish and chips, and... unpredictable weather! But fear not, intrepid traveller, for I, your friendly neighbourhood weather oracle (okay, maybe just a weather website enthusiast), am here to shed some light on what tomorrow's skies hold for the fair city of London.
Mostly Cloudy with a Chance of...
Well, that's the tricky bit, isn't it? "Mostly cloudy" sounds a tad vague, doesn't it? Like someone trying to describe their personality at a party. But fret not, because here's the breakdown:
- High: A respectable 22°C. Not quite beach weather, but enough to ditch the winter coat (unless you're me and perpetually cold, then bring a cardigan... just in case).
- Low: A chilly 12°C. Londoners, this is your cue to break out the trusty "summer scarf." You know the one – neither truly scarf nor snood, existing in a perpetual state of scarf-ish-ness.
Feeling the Breeze (But Not Getting Blown Away)
Winds are expected to be a gentle 8 mph, coming in from the southwest. So, unless you're planning on attempting a Mary Poppins-esque descent from Big Ben (not recommended, by the way, health and safety and all that), you shouldn't need to worry about being whisked away to Oz.
UV Index: Sun's Out, Shades On!
Don't let the mostly cloudy skies fool you! The UV index is forecast to be a high of 6. So, pack those sunglasses and slap on some sunscreen – you wouldn't want to return home looking like a lobster who got lost on the way to the fish and chips shop.
