London weather and daylight, month by month

There is no single best month for London: it depends on whether you want long light evenings, the fewest showers or the lowest chance of a cold day. The table below puts the averages side by side so you can choose. Temperatures, rain and sunshine are Met Office long-term averages for 1991-2020 at the Greenwich, Observatory station[1]. They describe a typical month, not a forecast for your dates.

On those averages, July is the warmest month (a mean daily high of 23.8°C) and January the coldest (8.5°C). November is the wettest by total rainfall (60 mm) and July the driest (36 mm). July has the most sunshine, about 209 hours across the month. Daylight runs from about 7 h 51 in mid-December to about 16 h 37 in mid-June: we calculate it from London's latitude, so it is ours, not a Met Office figure. Further north the swing is bigger: in Inverness it is about 6 h 37 in December and 18 h 00 in June.

Bank holidays are listed because shops, museums and transport can run differently on them and popular places get busier. The dates come from GOV.UK[2]. School holidays also make sights busier; they vary by council, so check the school term dates on GOV.UK. We do not publish crowd scores, because we have no reliable source for them.

Warmest and driest places in Britain, by month

If your dates are fixed, the place can still change. This table uses the same Met Office averages for one station in each of the 41 areas we cover and names the warmest and the driest of them in each month. The month pages explain the full ranking, dated events and the outdoor checks behind each suggestion.
