How often does it rain in london, england during summer?

I'm about an hour away from london, and we have had rain for a few days here but are expecting it to be and dry and sunny for the rest of this week. I would bring a coat, but you probably won't see anything worse than a light shower, and if you're lucky it will be sunny (of course, if you stay in England long enough you will eventually see plenty of rain, even in June)
I'm in London, we had MAD rain yesterday, but...it's really not normally that much.
*shrug* The rain's about as much as it is anywhere else really, nothing amazing. It's not really that frequent. This summer's set to be a good one though, if the past few weeks are anything to go by.
But then again, it could be 40 degrees and sunny, or it could be 10 and torrential rain, eh? xD. You'll prolly end up seeing a light shower though, as monojono said.
Enjoy your visit, mate!

Pal, it's England.
I'm sorry to tell you this, but literally anything can happen with the weather in the space of a few days.
One minute it's pleasant sunshine and mild temperatures, next minute, bam! the clouds come over, the sky turns gray and you're about to get very wet. Then by dinner time it's all cleared up and you're all set for a decent evening.
I dont know if that happens in London a lot 'cos I don't live there, but most places here, weather changes pretty fast.

The weather over here can not make up it's mind, like Wadders said.
Also, you reminded me of a kid on a plane who was sat behind me. I'd just got back from my holiday in florida (awesome place btw) and the kid was American who was coming over here for a holiday/vacation.
Anyway as we landed back in Bristol airport it was pissing it down and the kid complained "It's raining! But it never rains in England!" To which my reponse was to laugh hard whlist the kid thought I was mad. Ah... Fun times.

Britain is notorious for trying to predict the weather because we have pretty much every major air current converging right on top of us, but lately it's been pretty dry. But I'd suggest at least taking a coat.
Guys above are right, it pretty much does anything, anytime. Had some days recently of intense heat and then yesterday was rain pretty much through the afternoon and night.
The way I see it is you can always carry a coat if you bring one. Have fun.

What this guy said.Wadders said:
My advice? Take it as it comes. You'll want to have waterproofs and/or an umbrella on you at all times, though.
It's not exactly glamorous, but I feel as though us Brits have kinda stopped caring about that now. xD
As with replies previous to mine: bring a coat... don't need a big one, just a jacket when the days get a little chilly (today being a good example of that). And an umbrella.
To answer your question: sporadically... or rather, whenever it feels like falling.
Enjoy your holiday...
