According to the live forecast above, Colindale is seeing temperatures around the mid-to-high single digits Celsius, with a mix of cloud and clear spells. This is typical for early spring in north-west London, where daytime highs often lag a degree or two behind central London due to the area’s slightly higher elevation and open aspect.
How does Colindale’s weather compare to central London?
Colindale, located in the London Borough of Barnet, regularly records temperatures 1–2 °C lower than central London’s 10 Day Weather Forecast UK for the West End, particularly on clear nights when urban heat-island effects are weakest. The area sits on a gravel ridge, which means frost can form more readily in winter and early spring than in lower-lying parts of the capital. For a broader view of conditions across the capital, consult the UK weather hub for regional breakdowns.
