Kew Gardens (Greater London) weather

Headline:

Cloudy with rain overnight.

This Evening and Tonight:

Cloud and outbreaks of rain, locally heavy, will spread erratically northwards across all parts overnight. The rain turning more showery by dawn. A milder night. Freshening winds. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Tuesday:

Staying unsettled, with some sunny intervals and outbreaks of rain or locally heavy showers. A chance of thunderstorms clipping Kent and Sussex during the afternoon. Feeling warm and humid. Breezy. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Sunny spells and showers, locally heavy and possibly thundery Wednesday. Feeling warm and humid. Dry with warm sunny spells Thursday. Scattered showers Friday, with chance of thunderstorms clipping far southeast.

Into the weekend conditions will be mostly cool to average with some showers at times, most settled in the north west but increasingly showery to the southeast with a low risk of a more humid and thundery plume affecting eastern areas at first. The first part of the new week likely to see a mostly showery westerly breeze establish allowing temperatures to recover to around or just above average, feeling warm in sunnier periods outside of showers/heavy showers or thunderstorms, with a more settled spell to the southwest mid-week possibly spreading to much of the UK, though this likely only brief before a more showery northwest flow resumes. Winds after the weekend will be mostly light to moderate, though gusty conditions near heavy showers and thunderstorms remains likely.

As can often be the case at this time of year, predictability at this range is low. There are some signs of a slightly greater than normal chance of a more prolonged settled spell developing at some point during the period, at least for a time, and perhaps more likely in the south. However, by the same token further, perhaps shorter, unsettled interludes are probable too. Above average temperatures overall, and drier than average conditions overall, are very slightly favoured.
