A Guide to Weather in Scotland

Yes and maybe a Raincoat with PIT ZIPS

Wir waren bisher dreimal in Schottland (wirklich fast überall) und hatten nie wirklich länger schlechtes Wetter mit Regen. Schauer ja, aber oft danach wieder Sonne und blauer Himmel. Im März 2023 hatten wir einen Tag Regen von 9 Urlaubstagen. Vereinzelt kurze Schneeschauer, aber sonst nur Sonne und viel Schnee. Anfang September hatten wir zweimal sehr schönes und oft warmes Wetter mit maximal 2-3 Tagen Regen in zwei Wochen Urlaub. Und die Landschaft ist im Zusammenspiel mit dem wechselnden Wetter umso interessanter und noch atemberaubender. Also nur Mut und besucht dieses wunderschöne Land mit seinen tollen Menschen. Es lohnt sich definitiv. Wir kommen sicher auch ein 4. Mal wieder.

I hate the weather here. Even in summer is winter. +13 in Scotland, meanwile in Europe +40

What about of those who want to spend our time around cities?!

Do we need to use trekking poles to go up Scottish Highlands?

Highlands knitwear from Scotland is bae and the best

Its New Zealand minus 10 degrees

I have just moved to the northern Highlands from Wales and I have to say that this country is the most beautiful and amazing place in the whole of the UK. Weather is exciting and the changing scenery and black skies are beyond beautiful. I've fallen for Scotland in a big way. Visit soon and I'm sure you will too.

I noticed the thing foreign people complain about the most is the constant cloudy skies and lack of sun shining down.Apparently it is depressing for them but I don't know any better.

I'm not a fan of late autumn and winter weather but spring and summer are perfect for me. I wish we saw more snow and ice in the winter and I also wish we got more thunderstorms but when snow or thunder do happen it's more exciting

I saw that on a video as "if you can't see the mountains, it's raining. If you can see the mountains, it's going to rain." Lol

I have heard the “wait 5 minutes “ thing everywhere I’ve ever been lol

July 2022 in Scotland has been freezing.

Looking for a scot woman here , haha))

I got in love.

Hello, how is the weather in Scotland in October 2022

Amazed by the positivity mixed with humor in the narration!

I might come to Scotland to study for my masters, it's just so beautiful and I can't wait! ❤️ From India

The Scottish weather is just fine by me. Better than the extremes of the northeast U.S..

I live on the coast in Arbroath, Angus. I had to go to School in -5 C°, not icey cold or snowy cold, but just dry Cauld, it was bitter

Thank you.

I really want to study abroad in Scotland and my only concern is the weather. I'm from Germany so the weather can be pretty mild too but we do have warm summers that I don't necessarily want to miss.

👍

Wish I was born there

I really want to visit Scotland but I don’t think I could get use to the cold since I always live in a warmer climate and I’m very skinny. How do you cope do you just add layers?

We get a lot of weather here in Scotland.

The weather is really not extreme, it just rains a lot! It can be little or heavy, mostly it’s just spiting. But the weather changes hour by hour so you really just have to prepare for anything but it also means that it won’t be raining for the whole day so usually you can get a couple of hours of dryness. Rain usually stops by midday, it’s more common in the morning and at night.
In the winter it can get quite cold, which is due to the heavy winds we get. But all you really need is a jumper and jacket. Gloves are also really handy as your fingers and face as the ones getting exposed, so if they are covered you should be fine! If it’s an especially windy day, then wrap up good! It can look a pleasant day outside from the window until the wind hits you! Honestly the temperature in winter rarely dips below freezing, it stays around 0 C/ 32 F but the winds made it feel around two degrees cooler. You can find some mad locals just wearing t-shirts or shorts in this weather so the weather isn’t too extreme.
In summer it actually can get quite hot (for a Scot) and due to climate change we’re having more heatwaves than ever before! Heatwaves can be a killer as all our houses are designed to keep heat in and hardly any places have an AC. The temperature can get up to 33 C/ 91 F. The real killer is the humidity tho! The UK as a whole gets horrible levels of humidity that make the air literally stick to you and there is no wind to help circulate the heat, I’ve been to Australia and Florida during their summer seasons and even tho the temperature was higher than I’ve ever experienced it was more bearable than back home! If your coming from a very hot climate you might be used to it but all us Brits die in this weather 🤣

So yeah that’s our weather, we can experience snow in like January/February time but it’s hardly what anyone calls a lot but if it is more on the heavy side our nation goes into emergency mode and everything closes lol
Spring doesn’t exist it’s just a longer winter. Basically the weather we experience the most is autumnal as it’s just slightly cold, rainy and windy most of the time.

Always rain, dark and cold is the perfect weather to stay at home. Rain keeps the cities green and clean. That type of destination is good to visit as a tourist or to spend a few months and learn about other cultures. I want to go to Edinburg after this ridiculous pandemic.

Monday, dreich, Tuesday, pishin doon, Wednesday, pishin doon, Thursday dreich, Friday, pishin doon, wi some sna, Saturday, hailstanes, pure pishin doon, Sunday, dreich, sna.

Oh let me guess pissing wet and raining

I am liking the sound of Scottish weather. I am a Californian who hates California weather.

I envy Scots so much. I'm Mexican and climate here is so fucking HOT and HUMID like you're in Satan's bain-marie. Only some cities in the central Mexico are cool and template

with the right clothes it's actually really enjoyable to walk outside (nature or city) under the rain. I love it!

I love Scotland... I would not recommend taking an umbrella it is too windy. You do get some of the effects of tropical cyclones, not the full force hurricane conditions. In June 2018 the winds were so strong on the Isle of Skye it almost knocked me over. You also have to keep in mind that Glasgow, Inverness, and Edinburgh are on the coat. If you get inland especially those areas in higher elevations your weather is colder, but yet you are very likely to experience all seasons in one day.

The weather’s pish basically

Getting to know you is one of the best things that have ever happened in my life. I truly appreciate you @Tradefx_with_Tulio I will advice you to invest with @Tradefx_with_Tulio on IG

Love this video of scotland ..but much of the British Isles an northern Ireland have similar..weather patterns..

Love it..

you can get 4 seasons on one day in Scotland. Rain and wind are more common than sunshine and heat but we have wonderful scenery whatever the weather. Just dress for the weather and you'll be fine

Wet wet wet snows snow and more wet

Love you Scotland ❤ Miss you! Hope to be back soon!

great guide to out weather with a positive spin

Thanks! I’m going to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 this year 🤩

The rain is the only thing that keeps the dunks, heroin addicts and muggers of the streets.
