Temperatures in south London are set to rise tomorrow after a chilly start to the week, say forecasters.

Despite another cold start to the day this morning, with temperatures only predicted to reach around 6C all day, Met Office forecasters are predicting a rise in temperatures on Wednesday.

A forecaster said: "Lowest temperatures will occur this evening, as clear periods will occur, especially across Surrey, Sussex and Kent.

"Then becoming cloudy later tonight and eventually milder as outbreaks of rain arrive. Minimum temperature 2C."

However, with the rising temperatures would come rain, he predicted.

"Rain, perhaps occasionally heavy, will clear eastwards, taking until early to mid afternoon to clear from Kent.

"Dull conditions will follow, with hill fog and patchy drizzle, feeling noticeably milder."

Maximum temperatures were set to hit 13C on Wednesday.
