What is the weather like in Colindale today?

Based on the live forecast above, Colindale’s weather today reflects a standard pattern for this part of Greater London. Being inland, it often avoids the sharp coastal winds seen nearer the Thames Estuary, but can feel noticeably cooler than central London due to its slightly higher elevation and proximity to green spaces like the Welsh Harp reservoir. The forecast will guide you on any cloud cover or rain moving in from the west.
