"We get this a lot at this time of year, we sometimes joke the warmest day of the year klaxon is going off every day. I think this will be the peak for a while today, we are not expecting any further records in the next week or so. The values that have been reached today will probably be a high watermark for some little time to come."
"A peak of 20.1C was logged in Northolt, west London by mid-afternoon, matching highs seen in parts of Wales. The previous 2026 high of 19.2C was also set in Northolt earlier this month."
London experienced its warmest day of 2026, with temperatures peaking at 20.1°C in Northolt, west London, surpassing the previous monthly high of 19.2°C. The Met Office attributes this warmth to warm air being drawn northward from southern Europe. Similar high temperatures were recorded across parts of Wales, including 19.5°C in Trawsgoed. Forecasters indicate this represents a peak for the immediate period, with no further records expected in the coming week. Temperatures across London are expected to remain elevated throughout the week, ranging between 15°C and 17°C from Wednesday through Sunday. While much of the UK will experience sunny conditions this week, weather patterns may shift into early next week as the jet stream repositions.
