London weather: it’s getting super hot and humid in the city

Published on

Many of us rejoiced at the news that this weekend would see scorching temperatures.

For too long, Londoners have had to battle humid, cloudy days as well as torrential thunderstorms. But not anymore.

The hottest day of the year is here – with Heathrow being the first place in the UK to reach a whopping 34C.

Today (Saturday, June 29) is an absolute scorcher – but exactly how hot could it get as what some are calling a ‘tongue of fire’ hits the city?

Met Office forecasters say Saturday could be the hottest June day the UK has ever seen since records began 178 years ago, possibly breaking June’s 35.6C UK record, set on June 29, 1957, in Camden Town.

It could even be hotter than the Caribbean and Hawaii for some, as the 1,500-mile wide heatwave nudging France’s 44.1C (111F) temperature record extends to Britain.

The hottest temperatures are expected in London, with the mercury hitting a whopping 36C.

Right now, it’s an impressive 34C across the city in places such as Heathrow, Southwark, Hackney and Greenwich.

Croydon is also at a whopping 33C as of 3pm.

Temperatures are expected to stay in the low 30s for the remainder of the day and even into the evening, so you’d better make sure you’re slapping on the suncream.

What has the Met Office said?

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “Very hot inland on Saturday with mostly unbroken sunshine throughout the day.

“Feeling a little less hot along the English Channel coast with light onshore winds. Maximum temperature?35C.”

The coming weeks in London are looking dreary and hot. Is Global Warming impacting Europe the most? Share your thoughts…

Bangkok to London tour Package

Published on
///

Bangkok to London travel is frequent for people who are generally ex-pats staying in Bangkok city and even tourists who want to explore London. Bangkok on its own is a great touristic place, however, people from this city also love travelling to new places and London is in their top 10 places to visit. Thailand is surrounded by Myanmar on the west, Laos on the east and the Gulf of Thailand on the South. The distance from Bangkok to London is about 5,930 miles by air and 7,765 miles by road route. You cross several countries and a continent to reach London. Though both the cities are tourist destinations the travel between Bangkok and London is also frequent for business travellers, tourists, and also employment.

We will be focusing on Bangkok to London tour packages on our website. How you can travel, where you can stay, what all places to see in London.

Bangkok to London Flights

The best and the only feasible way of travelling from Bangkok to London is by air transport. The best and most frequent services are provided by Thai Airlines and British Airways, as these are the only two airlines which provide direct non-stop flights from Bangkok to London. Then there are other airlines too like Singapore Airlines,
Lufthansa, Etihad Airways, Air India, KLM, Qatar Airways, and Sri Lankan Airlines. Thai offers daily flights to London Heathrow (LHR) from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK). The cheapest ticket price varies and starts from as low as 40,000 Thai Baht. Bangkok to London flights from Thai airline takes about 12 hours and 20 mins which is way faster compared to other airlines. Singapore airline also offers a great service, but then they have a stopover at the Singapore Airport and then from there a direct flight to London Heathrow (LHR). The time taken by Singapore Airlines is a staggering 20 hours to reach London including the stop and change over at Singapore airport. Etihad Airlines also offers a Bangkok to London flight service, but then they too stop and changeover at the Abu Dhabi airport, which takes about min 16 hours in total to reach London Heathrow.



So I would thoroughly recommend leisure and business travellers if you are planning to take a flight from Bangkok to London, book your tickets from Thai Airlines or British Airways. These two airlines will help you reach London without any stopover or changeover in about 13 hours max.

Dublin to London by Train

Another way of travelling from Dublin to London is by train. The best services are offered by Trainline, Omio and Rail Europe which operate from Dublin Ferryport, Connolly, Pearse and Heuston stations. Even though this option of travelling is available from Dublin to London, this mode of transport does take quite a lot of time, as compared to Dublin to London by flight. The journey duration from Dublin to London Kings Cross station is about whopping 8 hours and 30 mins while coming back from London to Dublin. The duration of the journey varies from station to station and the number of stops and changes.

The journey on the most economical side will cost you about € 107 which is rather dearer than travelling from Dublin to London by flight. So I would thoroughly recommend taking air transport. To check offers from Trainline, Rail Europe and Omio, click on the logos below.
