Recent Met Office and BBC forecasts for London on May 19 point to a daily maximum near 18°C under light winds and scattered thundery showers, which explains the near-even market split between 18°C and 17°C. Ensemble model guidance shows modest spread around this value due to variable cloud cover and the timing of any rainfall, which can suppress afternoon warming by 1–2°C. Mid-May climatology for the capital averages 16–17°C, so current conditions sit slightly above the seasonal baseline. Updated model runs and official briefings in the next 24–48 hours will refine the exact peak before resolution.
