Weekend Weather Rollercoaster Hits London
London residents should prepare for a weather rollercoaster this weekend as conditions take a dramatic turn from mild and rainy to sharply colder within 48 hours. The forecast promises significant temperature fluctuations that will require wardrobe adjustments and outdoor planning.
Saturday: Mild but Wet Conditions
Saturday will bring relatively mild temperatures combined with rainy conditions across the London area. The day offers the warmer segment of this weather split, though the precipitation may disrupt outdoor activities. CTV London weather specialist Reta Ismail has detailed the specific timing and intensity of the rainfall expected throughout the day.
The mild temperatures will provide some comfort despite the wet weather, making it feel more like late fall than the approaching winter season. However, residents should keep umbrellas and rain gear handy when venturing outside.
Sunday: Sharp Temperature Drop
A dramatic cooldown arrives Sunday, bringing significantly colder conditions that will feel like a sudden shift toward winter. The temperature drop represents one of the more substantial changes seen in recent weeks and serves as a reminder that colder weather is settling into the region.
The sharp decline in temperatures will be noticeable throughout the day, with the mercury falling well below Saturday's readings. This rapid change may catch some residents by surprise, particularly those who become accustomed to Saturday's milder conditions.
Weather expert Reta Ismail emphasizes that this pattern exemplifies the unpredictable nature of late fall weather in Southern Ontario. The quick transition from mild to cold conditions serves as a reminder that winter is approaching rapidly.
Londoners planning weekend activities should consider this weather split when making arrangements. Outdoor events scheduled for Saturday may face rain challenges, while Sunday activities will require warmer clothing and preparation for the sudden cold snap.
