While the week is starting out on a cooler and unsettled note, much warmer weather is on tap for London by late-week.

Tuesday will still be cool with more clouds than sun. A little rain will fall, mainly during the afternoon. The high will be few degrees below normal, 68 degrees F (20.0 degrees C) due to the rain.

By midweek, the weather will be transitioning. There will be a mix of clouds and sun with a possible shower around. The uptick in temperatures will begin with a high in the lower 70s (22.8 degrees C).

There will be enough sun and warming flow for the temperature to climb near the 80-degree mark (26.7 degrees C) on Thursday and Friday.

The weather is forecast to turn unsettled with some rain returning this weekend.
