What is the weather like in Crystal Palace today?

The live forecast above gives the most accurate picture for Crystal Palace right now. Being inland and on a ridge, the area often sees slightly cooler temperatures and more cloud than central London, with a greater chance of mist or fog in the early mornings. The Met Office weather for Crystal Palace typically reflects these local variations, so it’s worth checking the radar for any showers moving in from the west.

How does Crystal Palace’s location affect its weather?

Crystal Palace sits on a hill, which means it can be breezier than surrounding lower-lying parts of south London. This elevation also makes it prone to sudden temperature drops in clear, calm nights.
