The Met Office has upgraded today's outlook for London. This isn't just a grey, drizzly Wednesday.
The temperature alone is worth pausing on. Thirteen degrees is the high.
The wind is gentle enough that walking is physically possible, but with heavy showers clustering unpredictably and hail in the mix, the tube is the sensible call today. The signal here is simple: if you're commuting into central London or have any significant outdoor stretch, you want a roof over your head when those heavier bursts arrive.
This pattern isn't a one-day blip. Low pressure is in charge through Thursday, pulling cool air in from the north.
The signal worth holding onto is what's coming after Thursday. Around May twenty-one to twenty-three, temperatures are forecast to rise sharply to twenty-three or twenty-four degrees.
