Grab a light jacket or umbrella if you’re heading out in East London today — the live forecast above shows a mix of cloud and sun, with a chance of a brief shower later. As the capital’s eastern edge, this area often catches slightly drier conditions than the city centre thanks to its position closer to the Essex coast.
What’s the outlook for the rest of the week?
The next few days keep that familiar London pattern: mild, greyish mornings giving way to brighter spells by lunchtime. With high pressure lingering to the south, expect gentle breezes from the southwest and temperatures hovering around 10°C to 12°C, which is typical for late autumn.

Will it stay dry this weekend?
Saturday looks mostly settled, though a weak weather front may push a few spots of drizzle across Hackney, Stratford and the Docklands area by evening. Sunday should feel fresher, with clearer skies and lighter winds — decent for a walk along the Lea Valley or Regent’s Canal.

How does East London weather compare to the rest of the city?
East London tends to be a touch less humid than the West End, thanks to open spaces like the Olympic Park and the Thames Estuary. It also gets slightly lower rainfall in winter, though fog can linger near the river.

Beyond seven days, the 10-day forecast is more dependable. A 14-day outlook can shift, especially for East London, where local conditions around the Lee Valley can differ from central areas.
