London and it's Metropoletan area

London’s climate is generally mild and damp, although it can be erratic. This region is one of the driest parts of Britain, and the average annual rainfall is only 750 mm (30 in).

However, the weather is generally cloudy, and some rain is liable to fall on half the days of the year.

With a mean temperature in July of about 18° C (about 64° F), London has warmer summers than most of the island, although heat waves are infrequent and seldom last long.

Temperatures rarely go above 26° C (78° F). Winters are relatively frosty, however, and the mean temperature in January is 4° C (40° F). Fog frequently develops in winter.

In the past, foggy days were aggravated by smoke, resulting in London's traditional 'pea-soupers.' However, since the use of coal has significantly declined, these have largely disappeared.
