Frequently asked questions
Is the weather at Gatwick the same as in central London?
No. Gatwick is about 30 miles south of London and often experiences cooler temperatures, more cloud, and thicker fog than the city centre, especially in autumn and winter.
Where can I get a reliable Gatwick weather forecast for 14 days?
The live forecast above provides a clear 14-day outlook. For longer-range insights, the Met Office offers extended guidance, but accuracy decreases significantly beyond 7–10 days.
Does Gatwick airport weather disruption affect other airports?
Often, yes. Gatwick and Heathrow share similar airspace; if Gatwick is affected by low cloud or wind, Heathrow may experience knock-on delays due to air traffic flow restrictions.
