Paddington shares London’s temperate maritime climate, so expect cool, damp winters and warm, sometimes humid summers. The live forecast above gives you the real-time temperature, wind speed and rain probability for the area around Paddington Station.

When’s the best time to visit?
Late spring (May–June) and early autumn (September–October) offer the best balance of mild temperatures and fewer crowds. July and August are warmest, but the city can be busy and school holidays push up prices. Pack a light waterproof year‑round – London’s weather can turn quickly. If you’re after a longer outlook, the bbc weather london page gives reliable 15‑day trends for the whole capital, including Paddington.
Is Paddington’s weather different from the rest of central London?
Not significantly. Paddington lies within London’s Urban Heat Island, so it’s often a degree or two warmer than the outskirts. Rain and wind patterns are almost identical to those at the Met Office’s St James’s Park station.
How accurate are BBC weather forecasts for Paddington?
BBC forecasts for Paddington use the Met Office’s high‑resolution models, giving reliable 1–3 day predictions. Beyond 5 days, confidence drops; a 15‑day forecast offers a general trend rather than hour‑by‑hour detail.
What should I pack for a day in Paddington?
Layers are key: a light jumper, a waterproof jacket and comfortable walking shoes. Even in summer, an evening breeze can feel cool near the canal. An umbrella is useful any month.
