CLIMATE
Londres tiene un clima oceánico templado, similar al del resto del sur de Gran Bretaña. A pesar de su reputación de ciudad lluviosa, Londres recibe menos precipitaciones en un año que Roma (834 mm...) o Burdeos (923 mm...). Los inviernos sonfríos, con unas dos heladas por semana en los suburbios entre los meses de noviembre y marzo. La nieve cae raramente, unas cuatro o cinco veces al año entre diciembre y febrero, mientras que en los meses de marzo y abril puede nevar una vez cada dos o tres años. Las temperaturas invernales oscilan entre los −4 °C y los 14 °C, aunque durante el invierno de 2010 la ciudad experimentó su récord bajo cero:−14 °C en Northolt y la nevada más copiosa de las últimas dos décadas, que colapsó las infraestructuras de transporte de la ciudad. Las temperaturas más extremas registradas en toda el área de Londres van desde más de 38 °C a los −16.1 °C que se re registraron en Northolt en enero de 1962. Antes del siglo XX al parecer se dieron temperaturas por debajo de −20 °C, pero se duda de la precisión deesas mediciones.
