Long-range weather forecast for London: Met Office predicts frost, fog and light winds in February

We’ve made it, January is finally over! (Give yourself a pat on the back!) After what felt like the longest month in history, we are more than ready to welcome February and all the fun things it has to offer.

Including some improved weather (we hope!) January was hellish, with high winds, monstrous storms and lots (and lots) of rain. Storms Eowyn and Herminia, wrought chaos across the capital, with the Met Office issues several weather warnings throughout the month.

But the outlook for February is much brighter - and far drier, according to the Met Office’s long range forecast.

While we can still expect to see some rain showers, and light winds, things are looking much more settled for the capital.

London is set for a month of cold spells, frost, and fog - but on the whole, the weather is going to be pretty mild, bringing average temperatures.

The Met Office forecast for February says: “Periods of wet weather are likely to affect northwestern parts of the UK at times, particularly early in this period. It is likely to be more settled and whilst some rain can't be ruled out at times, there is likely to be plenty of dry weather through this period.

“Winds will be lighter and this will bring the risk of overnight frost and fog. Overall, temperatures will be close to normal for most, but it is likely to be mild at times in the northwest. Brief colder spells are likely here in between weather systems though.

“There are signs that there may be somewhat of a northwest-southeast split to the UK's weather through this period. The north or northwest is likely to bear the brunt of wet and windy spells, whilst towards the south or southeast, it may be drier and more settled. Some rain is still likely at times here though, as are brief drier spells further north.

“Temperatures will probably be close to average overall, but some milder spells are likely, especially in the north. Brief colder spells are likely in-between weather systems though, and the south is likely to be at greatest risk of seeing some overnight frost and fog.”
