Sunday 7th December 2025

More rain, though milder and there are two pleasant days in the forecast.

No suitable photograph this week – even I keep forgetting to take any on my adventures around London.

The general overview sees a westerly flow, with various low pressure systems heading our way, some slowly, some quickly – on a strong jetstream which will become stronger thanks to a plunge of cold air in North America this week.

Today will be cloudy with patchy rain, often light though sometimes more persistent and moderate. Much milder at around 13’C, though also rather windy this afternoon. Skies will clear this evening, around 9’C – though becoming cloudier again before dawn.

Monday starts mostly cloudy, perhaps some brightness but also some patchy light (ish) rain possible from a weak weather front. Some limited bright/sunny spells in the afternoon for a time before further showery rain spreads up from the south-west perhaps by mid/late afternoon though more likely arriving around early evening – showery at first so it will be hit and miss for a time. Very mild, 13’C, maybe 14’C and breezy. The showery rain will become more persistent and fairly heavy overnight, the winds fairly strong and around 11’C.

Tuesday sees further showery rain – more so in the morning, some heavy bursts possible – some rain still around in the afternoon, though generally lighter. Very mild once more, 13’C, maybe 14’C, with strong winds too, especially in the morning and through lunchtime. A lot of high cloud overnight, around 8’C.

Wednesday sees a ridge of high pressure developing, a reasonably pleasant day for December, decent sunny spells, some cloud around, and 12’C. Fairly clear skies overnight, down to around 6’C.

Thursday should hang onto the pleasant conditions, more in the way of sunshine though tending to become hazier as the day goes on, as weather fronts approach. Around 11’C. Rain might spread across overnight – uncertain on the timing.

By Friday our little ridge of high pressure gets shunted out of the way as the jetstream strengthens and starts to push weather systems across again.

Highly uncertain on detail for Friday – we know a weather front will be trying to push across, perhaps it did overnight and Friday is dry ish, perhaps it is still to our west and Friday is cloudy – or perhaps it will be overhead, slowly pushing some rain across.

Once this weather front crosses, this will open the doors to further wind, rain and showers during next weekend – timing uncertain. Remaining mild though.

The following week most likely is unsettled, further rain, showers and strong winds at times. Temperatures mostly on the mild side, though short somewhat colder air might be mixed in at times.

Speak later.
