Website for weather in England?

[MaryAnnDVC]

Here in the States, I check www.weather.com for weather information around the US. Is there a website that you find particularly useful for England? I'm trying to find weather forecasts for my DS's upcoming trip.

TIA!

Thanks! I was looking at April in London...it really doesn't look that warm! I was surprised; I guess I expected it to be like here. One website shows an average maximum temperature of 12 degrees Centigrade (54 Fahrenheit). I don't know what to pack for him!

Will it really rain most days? I've always heard it was pretty wet there! Is that year round? I went to DisneyWorld one August when it rained, it seemed, most of the time. It's going to drive me crazy with him (14) in England, and me here, wondering if it would occur to him to put dry socks on.

yup! think slightly warm but not enough for a tee, and drizzle between the downpours.

Thanks for the info! Sounds like a blast!

I'm going to need the next month to figure out what to pack for him! I'm sure all the moms (because dads are so ) are going to be emailing back and forth trying to figure this all out. Ugh. Decisions decisions. I'm thinking raingear may be a good idea though.

DS had a wonderful trip and wonderful weather! NO RAIN!!! And it was quite warm too. He was in Chester for 4 nights and London for 3. Had the time of his life.
