Storms and 33°C heat expected in Fulham today — take care outdoors
27 June 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
After several days of relentless sunshine, Saturday brings a different kind of heat to Fulham: thundery showers are forecast alongside a high of 33°C and a 61 per cent chance of rain, with the UV index still reaching 7 even through the cloud cover.
The combination of intense heat and sharp downpours is worth planning around. If you are heading to Bishops Park, Hurlingham Park or any of the riverside paths today, keep an eye on the sky — summer thunderstorms in London can build quickly and bring heavy rain within minutes of the first rumble. Lightweight waterproofs are a sensible addition to any bag.
Despite the storms, temperatures will stay high — the overnight low is forecast at 21°C, meaning the heat will linger well into the evening. Residents are advised to keep drinking plenty of water and to check on older neighbours or those with health conditions, for whom sustained heat can be a risk even on overcast days.
The Met Office forecast for Fulham is available at metoffice.gov.uk. If thunder is audible, the standard advice is to head indoors and wait 30 minutes after the last rumble before returning outside.
