Solar terminator London on world map. Features current solar terminator dividing day and dark sides of earth. Show and hide Equator. Prime Meridian. From the start to the end of the month, the length of the day increases by 1 hour, 50 minutes , implying an average daily increase of 3 minutes, 47 seconds , and weekly increase of 26 minutes, 32 seconds.

The shortest day of the month is April 1 , with 12 hours, 59 minutes of daylight and the longest day is April 30 , with 14 hours, 48 minutes of daylight. The latest sunrise of the month in London is AM on April 1 and the earliest sunrise is 1 hour, 2 minutes earlier at AM on April Daylight saving time is observed in London during , but it neither starts nor ends during April, so the entire month is in daylight saving time. For reference, on June 21 , the longest day of the year, the Sun rises at AM and sets 16 hours, 38 minutes later, at PM , while on December 21 , the shortest day of the year, it rises at AM and sets 7 hours, 50 minutes later, at PM.

The figure below presents a compact representation of key lunar data for April The horizontal axis is the day, the vertical axis is the hour of the day, and the colored areas indicate when the moon is above the horizon. The vertical gray bars new Moons and blue bars full Moons indicate key Moon phases. The label associated with each bar indicates the date and time that the phase is obtained, and the companion time labels indicate the rise and set times of the Moon for the nearest time interval in which the moon is above the horizon.

We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.

This section discusses the wide-area hourly average wind vector speed and direction at 10 meters above the ground. The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on local topography and other factors, and instantaneous wind speed and direction vary more widely than hourly averages.

The average hourly wind speed in London is gradually decreasing during April, decreasing from For reference, on January 3 , the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is The wind direction in London during April is predominantly out of the west from April 1 to April 16 and the north from April 16 to April The growing season in London typically lasts for 9.

Growing degree days are a measure of yearly heat accumulation used to predict plant and animal development, and defined as the integral of warmth above a base temperature, discarding any excess above a maximum temperature. This section discusses the total daily incident shortwave solar energy reaching the surface of the ground over a wide area, taking full account of seasonal variations in the length of the day, the elevation of the Sun above the horizon, and absorption by clouds and other atmospheric constituents.

Shortwave radiation includes visible light and ultraviolet radiation. The average daily incident shortwave solar energy in London is rapidly increasing during April, rising by 1. For the purposes of this report, the geographical coordinates of London are The topography within 2 miles of London contains only modest variations in elevation, with a maximum elevation change of feet and an average elevation above sea level of 70 feet.

Within 10 miles contains only modest variations in elevation feet. Within 50 miles contains significant variations in elevation 1, feet. This report illustrates the typical weather in London, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, to December 31, There are 2 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in London. For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and London according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations.

The estimated value at London is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between London and a given station.

To get a sense of how much these sources agree with each other, you can view a comparison of London and the stations that contribute to our estimates of its temperature history and climate. Please note that each source's contribution is adjusted for elevation and the relative change present in the MERRA-2 data.

All data relating to the Sun's position e. This reanalysis combines a variety of wide-area measurements in a state-of-the-art global meteorological model to reconstruct the hourly history of weather throughout the world on a kilometer grid. Names, locations, and time zones of places and some airports come from the GeoNames Geographical Database.

Time zones for airports and weather stations are provided by AskGeo. The information on this site is provided as is, without any assurances as to its accuracy or suitability for any purpose. Weather data is prone to errors, outages, and other defects. We assume no responsibility for any decisions made on the basis of the content presented on this site. We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series.

While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: 1 are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, 2 are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and 3 have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands.

We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.
