Subscribe to the BlogA vacation to London, England, is best planned for the summer months for anyone who wants to take advantage of the city's moderate mid-year warmth.
A London vacation is a vast and entertaining visit for anyone looking for an equally vast array of cultural, historical and architectural attractions, many of which are world famous. They include Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, British Museum and Hyde Park.
Anyone lucky enough -- and anyone who plans well -- will find that good weather makes the trip all the more enjoyable while standing in line outside of major attractions or strolling through London's famous parks and gardens.
London weather is moderate in temperature and rainfall throughout the year. The average monthly high temperature (mainly daytime) is about 58 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the World Weather Organization. The city averages about 72 degrees for the daytime highs in July and August; in the 60s during May, June and September; in the 50s March, April, October and November; and in the 40s during December, January and February.
The average monthly low temperature (mainly nighttime) is about 46 degrees with the lows dropping into the 50s from June through September; the 40s in April, May, October and November; and down to the 30s in December through March.
Rain is not a factor for any travel plans. The city averages about 12 rain days and two inches of rain per month during the course of the year with only moderate variation. Rainfall reaches its lightest point in February, while rain days decline to about 10 per month in June through September.
Vacationers with families will find that London's ideal weather is June through August, while travellers without children in school might consider September because of a combination of warm days, light rain and fewer crowds at the major attractions.
