Hot and bright in Barnes today: 29°C with no rain expected
28 July 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Monday looks like one of the finer days of the summer so far for Barnes residents, with the Met Office forecasting a high of 29°C, partly cloudy skies and a 0% chance of rain throughout the day.
The UV index reaches 7 — classified as high — so sun cream and shade are worth thinking about, particularly for children and anyone spending extended time outdoors. The overnight low holds at a warm 20°C, so it will remain sultry into the evening.
Barnes Common, the towpath along the Thames and Leg o' Mutton nature reserve are all easy choices for a few hours outside. If you are heading further afield, Barnes Pond and the green spaces around Castelnau are reliably shaded in the afternoon.
For those travelling into central London, bear in mind that South Western Railway is currently running a special service — check before you leave. The Met Office forecast is updated regularly and is worth a glance if plans might shift later in the day.
