Cloudy and warm in Richmond today, with a high of 25°C

Tuesday brings a mild and largely cloudy day across Richmond, according to the Met Office forecast. Temperatures will reach a comfortable 25°C during the afternoon, with an overnight low of 17°C — warm enough to leave a window open.
The chance of rain is minimal at just 5%, so outdoor plans are unlikely to be disrupted, though the cloud cover means it will feel less sunny than recent days. The full forecast is on the Met Office website. The UV index sits at 7, which is rated high — meaning sun cream is still worth applying if you are spending time outside, particularly with children.
After a run of very warm and occasionally stormy days in the borough, the slightly cooler feel today may come as a welcome change. The parks, river path and town centre should all be pleasant for a lunchtime walk or an afternoon errand. Richmond Park, Kew Gardens and the Thames towpath between Richmond and Twickenham are good options if you want to make the most of a dry afternoon without the intense heat of last week.
