Weather in London

London has a temperate climate, with mild daily highs in summer (although there is the odd hysteria inducing heat wave) and winter lows that approach freezing but shyly recoil at the last minute. Rainfall is a constant, mostly in the form of drizzle, throughout the year. Snow falls occasionally in winter but seldom more than a few millimetres. In general, the weather and grey skies are the number one complaint expats make about living in London, with the cost of living a close second.
