A crisp, sunny Sunday in Barnes — make the most of it
After a run of unsettled autumn days, Barnes gets a proper treat this morning: the Met Office is forecasting a dry, sunny Sunday with temperatures reaching 13°C and dropping to 9°C overnight. The chance of rain is zero, and the UV index sits at a modest 2, so no need for factor 30 — but a warm layer will be welcome in the shade.
With the clocks going back tonight (British Summer Time ends at 2am on Sunday 26 October, which means you gain an hour in bed), the day's usable daylight is a little more generous than it might feel. Sunset will arrive in the late afternoon, so an early start makes sense if you are heading to the Thames towpath, Barnes Common or Wetland Centre.
Conditions look ideal for outdoor activity — a walk, a cycle, or simply a coffee outside one of the high street cafés. Full forecast details at the Met Office.
Enjoy it while it lasts: late October fine spells in south-west London are worth treating as a small gift.
