What is the weather like in Kew today?
Kew typically shares the mild, temperate climate of southwest London, but its proximity to the River Thames and extensive parkland can make it feel a few degrees cooler than the city centre.
- Expect the temperature shown in the live forecast above to feel slightly fresher near the river, especially in the morning.
- Rainfall can be patchy; the large tree canopy at Kew Gardens often traps moisture, so paths can stay damp after light showers.
- Wind speeds are usually lower than in exposed parts of London, but gusts can pick up along the Thames Path.
