BBC Weather Forecast: London's Sunshine Ends Today, Rainy April Ahead
If you were fortunate enough to wake up early this morning, you would have experienced the rare treat of sunshine and clear blue skies over the capital. However, this pleasant weather is proving to be nothing more than a brief teaser, as BBC Weather forecasts indicate the sunshine will fade much sooner than anticipated.
Rain Arrives This Afternoon
According to the latest predictions from BBC Weather, the current spell of sunshine is set to come to an abrupt end today, March 29. Rain is expected to hit London from 1pm this afternoon and continue persistently throughout the remainder of the day. Accompanying the rainfall will be a moderate breeze, adding to the damp conditions.
Temperatures today will reach a high of 11°C with a low of 5°C. For those planning to explore London or venture outdoors, it is highly advisable to carry an umbrella, as the afternoon weather is poised for a significant change.
Extended Rainy Period in April
Unfortunately, today's rain serves as a precursor to what many days in April will resemble. Starting from April 3, the capital is forecast to experience nine consecutive days of rain, extending into the Easter weekend. This prolonged wet spell may potentially disrupt Bank Holiday plans for many Londoners.
