Climate

London has a temperate marine climate, like much of the British Isles, so the city rarely sees extremely high or low temperatures.
Summers are warm with average high temperatures of 23 °C (73 °F) and lows of 14 °C (57 °F), however, temperatures could exceed 25 °C (77 °F) on many days. Winters in London are chilly, but rarely below freezing with temperatures around 2 - 8 °C (36 - 46 °F), while spring has mild days and cool evenings.
London has regular but generally light precipitation throughout the year, with average precipitation of 583.6 mm (22.98 in) every year. Snow is relatively uncommon, particularly because heat from the urban area can make London up to 5 °C (9 °F) hotter than the surrounding areas in winter. Light snowfall, however, is sometimes seen a few times a year, although it is not uncommon to have no snow during the colder months. London is in USDA Hardiness zone 9, and AHS Heat Zone 2.
