Climate: When is the best Time to travel to London
London is not really well known for good weather but firstly it doesn't really matter that
much as you can do almost everything also with mixed or rainy weather and secondly this
cliché is not really true since London enjoys a dry and mild climate on average. Statistic
weather data shows us that only one out of three Days are rainy days and if you are lucky
you might even have a rain free week.
Winter in London is mild compared to nearby continental European cities, due to both the
presence of the Gulf Stream and urban heat effect. Snow does occur, usually a few times
a year but rarely heavy. London is a city, which does not cope well with snow; walkways,
stairs, and streets will not be cleared by shovels or plows.
Summer is perhaps the best season for tourists as it has long daylight hours as well as mild
temperatures. The average daily high temperatures in July and August are around 24°C
(75°F)
Regardless of which time of the year, the weather in London could change quickly from
sunny to rain and from hot to cold so a small umbrella might be your best friend.
