weather today london points to rain every day in the capital from May 13 to May 21. London is forecast to stay wet for nine straight days, with rain ranging from light showers to thunderous downpours.
That stretch follows temperatures in London that hit 23C at the end of April. The change is sharp enough to leave the rest of May looking rather grim for anyone planning around dry weather.
Met Office May outlook
The Met Office’s long term forecast says changeable and at times rather unsettled conditions look to dominate through the middle part of May, with low pressure often close by. It adds that periods of rain or showers, some of which could be heavy, are expected for many places, while some drier interludes are also expected.
For London, that broad outlook lines up with a run of rain on every day between May 13 and May 21. The forecast does not describe one brief wet spell; it points to repeated rainfall across more than a week.
WX Charts May 15
WX Charts shows varying degrees of rain across the next week-and-a-half, with the dreariest forecast by far on May 15 at 6am. Around the capital, shading on the chart shows as much as 0.8mm of rain could fall per hour.
That leaves Londoners with a clear practical reading of the forecast: keep plans flexible through the middle of May and expect wet conditions to return day after day. The strongest signal in the charts is not a single storm, but a long stretch of unsettled weather that refuses to clear.
