Weather in London tomorrow: Arctic blast to hit UK with temperatures to drop in capital

This comes after a weekend of wet and stormy weather, which saw dozens of flights cancelled at London Gatwick and Heathrow Airport as a result.

Met Office meteorologist Craig Snell said on Sunday: “As we go through into Tuesday and Wednesday and beyond, we will start to see even cooler air begin to move in from the Arctic.

“Our first autumn chill of the season is coming our way into the middle part of the week. It will bring temperatures  around the mid-teens by day and by night, some of us will be falling into the low and mid single figures.”

What will the weather be like in London this week?

The Met Office has forecasted a cloudy and rainy day in London on Monday (September 9) with temperatures between 9°C and 18°C.

The weather will get cooler throughout the week with rain predicted for Tuesday and Wednesday.

London temperatures at night are likely to fall to as low as 7°C on Wednesday night and then 5°C overnight on Thursday.

A Met Office statement read: “We’re likely to see fresher, cooler temperatures sweeping across the UK, becoming notably cool in the north by mid-week. 

“Conditions look to remain generally unsettled during next week, with showers or longer spells of rain at times for most regions, accompanied by blustery winds.”

Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Dan Harris said: 'Reminiscent of this time last week, the forecast for later this weekend comes with larger uncertainties than average.

'This is due to a more complex than usual meteorological pattern involving multiple corridors of heavy, locally thundery rain revolving around a slow-moving area of low pressure.

'We are keeping warnings under review, and will look to issue them over the weekend as confidence increases, so please keep up to date with our latest forecasts and warnings.'
