Will it finally rain in London? Forecast reveals whether the capital’s dry spell will end this weekend

London is set for another hot day before a brief change arrives on Sunday, bringing the chance of light showers. But with weeks of exceptionally dry weather raising wildfire concerns and stretching water supplies, will the rain be enough to make any real difference?

Londoners will have to wait a little longer for meaningful rainfall as the capital remains largely hot, dry and sunny through today, despite a weather front bringing wetter conditions to northern parts of the UK.

For those hoping this weekend’s showers will finally break London’s prolonged dry spell, the forecast offers only limited encouragement.

High pressure has dominated the UK’s weather for several weeks, delivering above-average temperatures and exceptionally dry conditions. While a weak weather front is now beginning to move south across the country, the heaviest and most persistent rain will remain focused across northern and western areas, with only limited impacts expected in London.

Expect the weather to therefore stay very warm across the capital today, with lengthy sunny spells and only some patchy high cloud developing later in the day. Temperatures are expected to reach up to 30°C, making London one of the hottest places in the UK once again. A developing breeze will o

ffer only limited relief during the afternoon so it will feel hot. Remaining warm in the capital this weekendThe prolonged lack of rainfall has become an increasing concern across southern England. While
