London Marathon runners could be in for a gloomy morning on Sunday with forecasters predicting rain will “never be too far away”. The Met Office said the capital will not see “desperately unpleasant conditions” but warned of cloud and rain potentially coming from the south-west.
The 26.2-mile race will start at Greenwich Park with runners heading to the finish line on the Mall near Buckingham Palace. A Met Office spokesperson said: “The current thinking is that through the morning there’ll be rain encroaching from the south-west, over to the London area. It will be cloudy, with rain never too far away.”
Weather experts also said temperatures at the start line will be around 12C to 13C, and peak later in the day at around 16C or 17C.
