A yellow weather warning for rain is in force across London for the next 24 hours, with heavy downpours expected to cause localised flooding and travel disruption across the capital and its suburban boroughs.
What is the weather warning for London today?
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning valid from midday today until midday tomorrow. Central London, along with areas such as Camden, Westminster, and outer boroughs including Croydon and Enfield, can expect 20–35 mm of rain within a few hours. Gusty winds of up to 40 mph may accompany the rain, particularly near the Thames estuary. Commuters on the Tube and overground services should allow extra time, as surface water on roads and tracks is likely.
Will the warning affect the rest of the week?
Conditions are expected to ease by late Friday morning, leaving a drier but chilly weekend. Those checking weather in london 10 days ahead will see a return to unsettled conditions early next week, with a separate low-pressure system potentially bringing a storm to hit Britain this weekend. For now, the focus remains on today’s heavy rain and localised disruption.
