Nothing a little kludge within the workflow can't solve... Set it up for 6am and 7am, check current time in London, skip sending the text if it's the wrong hour.
Might be a weird question but, what value do people get from knowing the current weather? I understand the value in forecasts of course, but doesn't "feeling" the current weather serve most practical purposes?
1st version: relies on one single third-party service Preamble to the 2nd version: This is something I should be able to code and host myself, without relying on a third-party 2nd and thus far final version: relies on three third-party services

This means that, if I want to sent a text every morning at 7am, when on BST (British Summer Time) I actually need to schedule it for 6am instead.

OP appears to be using an iOS device, so I was curious to see if this could be replicated using Shortcuts and Automations. It can! And you can send yourself an SMS, or, as I've done in this example, send a notification, which will persist in Notification Center, if you wish. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/8cda97aa69174e44b434c3dba7a...
I quickly looked at Samsung's Modes and Routines app, and you could build a similar routine (but only with a local notification).

Cool, however “ Opening the Weather app every morning is too much effort” - is it really? And even if it was, don't most mobile OSes support having a Lock Screen weather widget you can check at a glance?
I'd love to figure out how to get an hourly weather widget on the lock screen though.
