Another warm one today: sunny skies and 29°C in Barnes
15 July 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Tuesday brings another fine, hot day to Barnes, with the Met Office forecasting wall-to-wall sunshine and a high of 29°C — almost identical to Sunday's reading and only a degree or two below the peaks seen earlier in this warm spell.
The overnight low was 18°C, meaning it will feel warm even in the shade, and the UV index is 8 (very high), so sun cream and a hat are advisable if you're spending time outdoors — whether at the wetlands, on the towpath or in the garden.
No rain is expected at all today, making it a straightforward summer's day. The warm, dry conditions are expected to hold through the afternoon, so if you have plans for Barnes Pond, Barn Elms or one of the local cafés with outside seating, timing looks good.
With several consecutive hot days now behind us, it is worth staying well hydrated, particularly for children, older residents and anyone exercising. The full forecast is available from the Met Office.
