Heavy rain set to drench Fulham today — keep the umbrella close
29 August 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
It is a wet one to close out the Bank Holiday weekend. The Met Office is forecasting heavy rain across Fulham throughout Saturday 29 August, with a 95% chance of rainfall and temperatures reaching a high of just 20°C and dipping no lower than 17°C overnight. The UV index is a low 2, so sun cream is the one thing you will not need today.
If you had outdoor plans — a trip to Bishops Park, a stroll along the riverside or a last-hurrah barbecue — it is worth rethinking or at least having a covered backup. Several indoor options remain close at hand: Fulham Palace and its café are a reliable wet-weather standby, and many of the neighbourhood's independent coffee spots tend to be welcoming on grey days.
The Bank Holiday weekend has been a mixed bag weatherwise across London, and today appears to be the lowest point of it. Those travelling in or out of Fulham by foot or bike should allow extra time and expect surface water on quieter streets.
