London has a temperate

marine climate, like much of

the British Isles, so the city
rarely sees extremely high or
low temperatures. Summers
are warm with average high
temperatures of 19 °C - 24 °C
and lows of 11 °C.
 But temperatures
can exceed 25 °C on
many days, and in
almost every year
they exceed 30 °C
on some days. The
highest temperature
ever recorded was
39 °C on 10th
August 2003.
 Winters in London
are chilly, but rarely
below freezing with
daytime highs around
8 °C - 12 °C while spring
has mild days and cool
evenings. The lowest
ever recorded
temperature is −10 °C.
 London has regular but
generally light precipitation
throughout the year, with average
precipitation of 583.6 millimetres
(22.98 in) every year. Snow is
relatively uncommon, particularly
because heat from the urban area
can make London up to 5 °C
warmer than the surrounding areas
in winter. Some snowfall, however,
is usually seen up to a few times a
year.
 In the second half of
the 19th century and the
first half of the 20th, London
was noted for its dense fogs
and smogs. Following the
deadly Great Smog of 1952,
the Clean Air Act 1956 was
passed, leading to the
decline of such severe
pollution in the capital.
