Forecasters warns on heavy downpours as London marathon kicks off today

 


There has been series of warnings from weather forecasters about the heavy downpours today at the British capital.

The 45,000 people who have signed up for the London Marathon could face heavy downpours for much of the run, forecasters have warned.

The Met Office has predicted a “very wet” Sunday with a higher than 50% chance of downpours persisting through a nine-hour window from 7am until 4pm.


Jonathan Vautrey, a spokesman for the forecaster, said runners will experience temperatures of around 10C.
He said: “More persistent rain is pushing across south-eastern England throughout the day – that could provide for a relatively wet and damp London Marathon.
Temperatures could rise across the south climbing no higher than 9 or 10C.”


Today’s race is set to be the largest ever London Marathon, with at least 45,000 people due to take part in the mass participation event, up from 40,643 in 2022.
