A sunny Sunday in Fulham — high of 30°C and UV index 9
12 July 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
After a week of scorching temperatures, Sunday brings another fine, hot day to Fulham — though a touch cooler than the 35°C peak earlier this week. The Met Office forecast puts the high at 30°C, the low at 16°C overnight, and the chance of rain at just 9%, making it a reliably dry day for getting outside.
The UV index is forecast at 9, which sits in the very high band. That means sunscreen (SPF 30 or above), sunglasses and a hat are genuinely worth the effort, especially for anyone spending more than 20 minutes outdoors. Children and fair-skinned residents are most at risk of burning.
Bishop's Park and South Park are both good options for shade — both have mature tree canopies that offer welcome relief from direct sun. The Thames Path between Putney Bridge and Hammersmith is pleasant in the early morning before temperatures climb.
Hydration matters on days like this: the NHS recommends drinking water regularly rather than waiting until you feel thirsty, and checking on elderly or vulnerable neighbours who may not have air conditioning at home.
