In rainy conditions, which are common year-round, ensure your hired car's wipers are in good condition and reduce your speed to maintain better control. During the occasional snowy or icy spells in winter, be extra cautious and consider using winter tyres if available. In summer, be prepared for occasional heatwaves by checking your vehicle's cooling system and carrying water. Regardless of the season, it's wise to keep a few essentials in your car, such as a torch, a warm blanket, and a fully charged mobile phone. By being prepared for various weather scenarios, you can enjoy safer and more comfortable drives around Colindale and Greater London.
