After what’s felt like a relentless few days of rain and weather warnings, the sun is set to stage a triumphant return to the capital (and we cannot wait!)

Visitors and locals alike, will be able to enjoy the best of London next week as temperatures climb back up into the mid-high 20s. Not quite high enough to be considered an official heatwave.

According to BBC Weather, the capital is set for a week of bright sunshine, and 26C heat.

That’s right, we’re talking lidos, parks, sweaty underground journeys, rooftop cocktails and ice creams galore, because there’s nowhere like London on a summer’s day.

But you’ll have to endure a little bit more rain before our week of sunshine. With forecasters predicting further showers in the capital today (4th August).

The Met Office says: “Turning rather windy as cloud thickens through Monday morning, with outbreaks of rain, heavy in places, moving east through the afternoon, followed by dry and clearer conditions later. Maximum temperature 23C.”

The outlook for the rest of this week is varied with some cloud, some showers, some gentle breezes and some epic summer sun!

Temperatures could reach highs of 27C in London on Sunday (10th August), according to the Met Office.
