Good morning, London. Today is Sunday, the 15th of December, 2024, and as we look ahead to the coming week, let's delve into what the weather has in store for us.

We're starting the week on Monday with temperatures around 10 to 11 degrees throughout the day. Initially, it will feel similar to the actual temperature, but as we move into the later hours, you might notice it feels slightly cooler. The sky will be predominantly overcast, especially from the midday onward, although the chance of rain is limited, with only slight precipitation expected around 11 o'clock in the evening. Wind speeds will hover around 8 to 9 kilometers per hour, with occasional gusts reaching up to 22 kilometers per hour. Cloud cover remains substantial with a full afternoon of overcast skies. For those driving or riding motorcycles, the fog that settles in late may reduce visibility, so exercise caution.

As we transition into Tuesday, temperatures slightly dip to around 9 degrees in the early morning and rise to about 10 during the day. There’s a significant increase in humidity, reaching up to 95% early in the morning. Throughout the day, overcast conditions persist with periodic rain, especially in the late evening. Motorcycle riders and car drivers should be mindful of slippery roads as the rain progresses. Garden enthusiasts might want to give the watering can a break as Mother Nature takes on the task for you.

Wednesday's weather will feel milder with temperatures rising a bit higher, peaking at around 14 degrees. However, we’re expecting persistent rain throughout much of the day, providing yet another wet day. Wear a raincoat if you have morning errands or dog walks planned. The wind will pick up, with gusts exceeding 30 kilometers per hour later in the day, making it feel cooler than it actually is, so dress warmly accordingly.

Heading into Thursday, temperatures will start to drop, with a notable chill setting in by the afternoon as temperatures fall to about 7 degrees. Rain and overcast conditions will dominate much of the day, but by nightfall, there is a break in precipitation, replaced by heavy cloud cover. Young mothers and parents with children should ensure they are wrapped up warmly and dry for school runs in the morning and evening.

Friday marks a continued cool trend, starting around 4 degrees in the morning and reaching 7 degrees as the day progresses. Thankfully, the rain will have moved on, leaving us with overcast skies and a drop in humidity. The visibility should improve as clouds begin to part slightly, inviting clearer skies for the weekend.

Rolling into the weekend on Saturday and Sunday, it remains cooler, with temperatures consistently around 6 to 9 degrees. Saturday will see overcast skies with more light rain expected, whereas Sunday will bring a mix of cloud and sun, offering a chance to enjoy some time outside without an umbrella. Pet owners might finally get a break, allowing for longer walks under drier conditions, though still keeping an eye on possible lingering wet patches underfoot.

As we take stock of this week's weather, the main takeaway is to keep your rain gear handy. The temperatures dictate layering up is wise, especially during periods of wind and rain. With varying visibility and slick roads, caution is advised for all road users but remember that the calm after the rain looks set to be clear but cool, offering a refreshing close to the weekend. Stay warm, stay dry, and have a wonderful week ahead.
