London has a temperate oceanic climate with mild summers and cool winters. At London Heathrow, the 1991-2020 reference averages range from a daily high of 47°F (8°C) in Jan to 75°F (24°C) in Jul. Monthly rainfall averages sum to 24.2 inches (615 mm) per year.
Spring warms gradually with daffodils by March. Summers can bring heat waves pushing past 90°F, increasingly common in recent years. Autumn is damp and foggy. Winters are cold and gray but rarely see heavy snow, though the occasional Beast from the East brings Arctic blasts.
The Heathrow 1991-2020 climate table averages about 615 mm of rainfall a year. That is less total precipitation than the New York Central Park table for the same period, illustrating why frequent gray skies do not necessarily mean a larger annual water total.
Local Planning Guide
London needs closer attention during summer heat waves, autumn fog season, and the rare winter cold snaps or snow events the city is poorly equipped to handle.
Rain in London is usually light but persistent, so radar trends and timing matter more than totals for deciding when to head out between showers.
