London Weather Conditions

As I’m sure you’ve heard, London weather can be quite unpredictable. We Londoners are known to regularly carry both our sunglasses and an umbrella. But London weather is never so extreme as to detract from all the great things to do in the city.

The seasons change gradually, and Winter can appear to still be happening when we should be into Spring, but the weather is never so bad to stop you planning a trip to London.

The hottest time of the year is normally August, when the peak temperature can be 30°C (90°F) but the average in August is about 22°C (70°F).

London is an all-year-round destination, so major attractions are not seasonal. We do see a large increase in visitors in July and August so why not try and visit at a different time of the year to avoid the overcrowding?

London weather is generally mild, just remember to bring a lightweight raincoat to keep in your day-pack. There’s so much to do in London, both indoors and outdoors, never worry if you have to change your plans - you will always find something happening in this vibrant city!

FLANKED by epic mountain terrain that is home to 12 major ski resorts (the largest concentration in the country), Lake Tahoe is a year-round draw that sees some of its biggest crowds during ski season. This part of the Sierra Nevada is known for its prodigious snowfall. Back in the 19th century, the infamous Donner Party was trapped in 22-foot drifts in the area, and found themselves resorting to creative methods of survival; today, visitors to Tahoe are thankfully hungry mostly for good powder. In particular, the north side of the lake on either side of the California-Nevada border, especially the historic and colorful town of Truckee, Calif., offers easy access to top resorts for skiing, snowboarding and cross-country exploration, as well as a good sense of the region’s quirkily independent pioneer spirit.

Fortified, get outfitted for the slopes at Porters Sports (11391 Deerfield Drive, Truckee; 530-587-1500; www.porterstahoe.com). This family-run shop has a huge selection of gear, and rents skis, snowboards and snowshoes that you can return to any of three North Lake Tahoe locations.
