What does the Met Office forecast for Kensington actually tell you?
The Met Office’s Kensington forecast is a localised prediction based on high‑resolution models for the W8 and W11 postcode areas. It covers temperature, wind speed, precipitation probability and UV index. For practical use, check the live forecast above first thing each morning to decide whether you need an umbrella or sunscreen – especially if you’re heading to Notting Hill or South Kensington. The Met Office also issues weather warnings for Kensington when conditions turn hazardous, so keep an eye on official alerts rather than third‑party apps.
How does Kensington’s weather compare to nearby areas?
Kensington sits in a relatively sheltered part of central London, so temperatures are often a degree or two warmer than open suburbs. The microclimate can differ slightly from BBC Weather’s broader London zone, which is why the live forecast above is more reliable than a generic London outlook. If you’re planning a day out near the museums, also check our UK weather hub for regional trends. For longer‑range planning, the Met Office’s 14‑day outlook for Kensington (sometimes called ‘Kensington weather 14 day’) offers a reasonable guide, though confidence drops after day seven.
Where can I get BBC Weather for Kensington and Notting Hill?

Is AccuWeather more accurate than the Met Office for Kensington?
No. The Met Office is the UK’s official weather service and uses the highest‑resolution models for the area. AccuWeather Notting Hill or AccuWeather for Kensington may offer different presentation, but for official warnings and reliability, stick to the Met Office.
How do I find a 14‑day forecast for Kensington?
