While the week started out on a cooler and unsettled note, drier and much warmer weather has taken over in London.

Thursday will be partly sunny with the high climbing to the upper 79 degrees F (26.1 degrees C).

Today will have the best weather of the week with sunny skies and a few patchy clouds. It should remain dry with a high in the mid- to- upper 70s degrees F (almost 24 degrees C).

Dry weather should dominate the balance of the weekend; however, a front may approach and bring the risk for a few showers on Sunday.
