How hot is it in London city at the moment?

[Moomoo1975]

Hi there I will be visiting London for a few days early next week. Am wondering how hot is it really/ humid? And any tips if travelling with kids. Thankyou.

It’s about 24/25 at the moment, with slight humidity, but nothing major. Comfortable as long as you are dressed appropriately.

However, I see the forecast has it as going up to the higher 20s next week....

What are you planning to do while here?

We're zone 2, it's 26 degrees, humid, hazy rather than bright sunshine. Bit sticky but not too bad.

Take bottled water with you, especially on the tube.

It's fine. Agree re water in the tube.

The buses I’ve been on have been unpleasant. The district line tube is fine as air conned, central and northern lines are HOT.

I think the temperature is set to rise next week but it’s really not that hot at the mo. Cloudy and a bit muggy. Avoid the tube in rush hour and you’ll be grand.

Bit sticky but bearable unless you’re on the Northern or Central lines. Or in my office which is subzero, I’ve basically moved my knitwear collection to EC2.

Horrible. Buses, central and Piccadilly lines are almost unbearable. Dreading next week

X-post with @CloudRusting, clearly we have similar commutes

It's really fine. Just take water on the tube and wear comfortable shoes.

Tube lines without air con are awful

It’s hot, but no breeze makes it feel more stifling

I would stay at GF public transport at any of the busy periods 7am-9.30/10 and 4.30-7.30pm
Tbey’re Unpleasant at the best of times

I mean ‘off public transport’

The tube is like being a rotisserie chicken, but out and about the humidity is okay, so it’s not too bad.

Ha I was coming on to say it's fine if you avoid the Central line, but have been beaten to it!

I'm finding it hot and sticky and horrible, but that's because I have to commute at peak times. I'm you can avoid that and wander about sightseeing and eating ice cream then I'd think it'd be fine!

My temp in my living room is indicating 24 degrees. I decided to get the tube (central) today instead of cycling for my lunch date, thinking I’d be less sweaty. Not the case. I felt like I’d been boiled alive. I cycled back home and it was lovely.

I came on to say fine unless Victoria line love the rotisserie chicken analogy

Thankyou all, we will bring plenty of water and light clothing.
