London weather for Remembrance Sunday: misty start, dry for the two-minute silence

Londoners heading to the Cenotaph and local war memorials this morning can expect a misty, still start but a dry day, according to the Met Office forecast for London.

Temperatures will be around 8°C through the two-minute silence at 11am, with almost no wind, before rising to a top of 11°C in the afternoon. The chance of rain is 10% or less all day.

What to wear

With the morning mist and temperatures feeling like 7°C, a warm coat, gloves and comfortable shoes are a good idea if you’re standing on Whitehall for the National Service of Remembrance and the veterans’ march past, which can run past 1pm. Umbrellas aren’t needed, but crowds on Whitehall mean security checks, so travel light.
