After a mild start to the week, Tuesday brings a notably wet outlook for Fulham. The Met Office is forecasting a 92% chance of rain today, with heavy downpours expected at some point during the day — so if you're heading out, an umbrella or waterproof jacket is firmly recommended.
Temperatures will be relatively mild for mid-October, reaching a high of 20°C and dropping to a low of around 11°C overnight. Cloud cover will be dominant throughout the day, and with a UV index of just 2 there's no need for sun cream. Met Office forecast for Fulham, Tuesday 13 October
The rain is worth bearing in mind if you have children walking to school this morning, or if you're cycling — several of Fulham's quieter cycle routes can accumulate surface water quickly during heavy showers. Puddles on Lillie Road and around the Eel Brook Common paths tend to be among the first to flood.
Conditions are expected to remain unsettled through the afternoon, so factor in extra travel time if you're commuting or running errands later in the day. Check the Met Office site for hourly updates as the day progresses.
