Weather expert says London forecast of cooler temperatures shouldn't fool you as it's going to be ve

Publish date: 2024-06-08

A London weather expert has revealed that the capital is due for a 'humidity wave' despite temperatures getting cooler in the coming days. According to meteorologist Jim Dale, founder of British Weather Services, "the humidity will start rising as we go towards the weekend" as a result of low pressure coming in from the Atlantic.

It will also be because of "showery tross" which is an "enhanced period of shower type rain". This will make the elements more humid as the contents of the air will be carrying more moisture.

He said: "Humidity's on the rise and will continue to rise into the weekend, and particularly on Sunday when the showers in the South West will amalgamate and produce showery rain for most parts of England, Wales, and NI." In short, from Sunday, Jim Dales predicts we will no longer have scorching temperatures but it will be humid.
