The Met Office forecasts London temperatures soaring higher than those in Athens, Greece, for the coming week. The capital city is set to reach a peak temperature of 25°C on Tuesday, surpassing the predicted 23°C in Athens. London will experience six days of nearly continuous sunshine starting today, with Monday and Wednesday expected to be 23°C, while Thursday and Friday temperatures range from 21°C to 22°C. This warm spell is due to a build-up of high pressure over the UK, bringing warmer air up from Europe and the subtropical Atlantic Ocean. As autumn approaches, clouds are predicted to return by next Saturday when temperatures drop to 22°C.
