The live forecast above shows the latest conditions for Erith, a town in southeast London along the River Thames.

How does the BBC Weather forecast for Erith compare to the Met Office?
BBC Weather draws its data directly from the Met Office, so the temperatures, wind speeds and rain probabilities you see in the live forecast above are identical to those on the official Met Office site. The difference is mainly how the information is presented – BBC Weather uses a simplified interface for quick scanning, while the Met Office provides more detailed charts and text forecasts. For a deeper dive into the next week, you can also cross-check against the 10-day UK forecast on our site.
What makes Erith’s local weather distinctive?
Erith sits on the south bank of the Thames estuary, so its weather is influenced by the river and the North Sea. This often means cooler breezes in spring and summer compared with inland London, and a higher chance of low cloud or mist clearing slowly during winter mornings. The microclimate can make the weather in Erith 10 days feel different from central London, so rely on the live forecast above rather than a generic London forecast.
Does the BBC Weather forecast for Erith update automatically?
Yes. The data refreshes at least every hour. The live forecast above pulls the same feed BBC uses, so you always see the latest observations and hourly predictions for Erith.
Is the Met Office weather in Erith more accurate than BBC Weather?
Accuracy is identical because BBC Weather licenses Met Office data. The difference is how you view it: BBC Weather offers a simpler display; the Met Office gives extra detail like pollen counts and tide times.
Should I rely on the 10-day forecast for Erith?
The 10-day forecast gives a useful trend, but confidence drops significantly after day five. For planning a specific outdoor activity, check the live forecast above the day before and again in the morning.
