Keen to find out, Uswitch.com looked into 35* European capital cities, and ranked their weather’s unpredictability based on six factors: cloud cover, frequency of frosty days, rain, temperature, frequency of wet days, and sunshine duration. Unpredictability was calculated based on the changes in each city’s weather data.
Uswitch.com can reveal that London in the UK has the fourth most predictable weather in Europe. Whilst predictable weather doesn’t necessarily mean good weather, it means tourists and locals are able to more easily prepare for the season ahead.
