After a hot start to the week, with temperatures reaching around 31C on Monday, conditions will gradually cool but remain pleasantly warm.
The Met Office has forecasted that high pressure is expected to dominate through much of the period, ensuring plenty of dry weather and sunny spells, though the potential for more changeable conditions remains later in the outlook.
Week one
The week began with the warmest weather, as London experienced highs of around 31C on Monday before temperatures eased to 28C on Tuesday.

For the middle of the week, highs are expected to settle between 22C and 25C, accompanied by a mixture of sunshine and patchy cloud.
Thursday is anticipated to be the coolest day, though it should remain largely dry with brighter conditions forecasted as the weekend approaches.
Week two
Looking ahead, the Met Office indicates no sign of any prolonged washout.
Instead, temperatures are expected to remain around or above average for August, with a blend of dry days, sunny spells, and the occasional shower or longer spells of rain moving through at times.
While confidence naturally decreases further into the forecast, forecasters suggest many southern parts of the UK, including London, will likely continue experiencing warm spells due to areas of high pressure remaining in proximity.
Will there be another heatwave?
After Monday’s very hot weather, temperatures are expected to ease back into the mid-20s for several days.
The Met Office’s long-range outlook suggests there is still potential for further very warm or hot spells later in August, particularly across southern England.
However, the timing and intensity remain uncertain at this stage.
The outlook
Broadly, Londoners can anticipate a largely settled fortnight, with warm afternoons, comfortable nights, and only occasional interruptions from cloud or showers.
Those wishing for sunshine should be in luck, as dry weather is expected to dominate, with temperatures generally remaining in the low to mid-20s after the early-week heat subsides.
