London Weather

Famous for its unpredictable weather, London is known to abruptly change from having a sunny day to being deluged by rain. The peak season for London is from May to September when festivities are abundant. Most hotspots though, would be crowded and tickets sky-high. Those looking for a low cost vacation should aim for their holiday to fall between October and March when it is off-season in London. Since the weather may suddenly change, tourists should be ready with both their sunglasses and umbrellas upon arriving from flights to London.
