Read moreThe best time to visit the UK is between May and September, and in December. Take advantage of the warmer mid-year weather to enjoy some of the UK’s most popular events, or get in the festive spirit with a winter break.
The months of May to September in the UK bring some surprisingly warm weather, blue skies and long days. Join the locals in the sunshine for major sporting events, festivals and parades. You might get caught in the occasional downpour – but that’s all part of a visit to the UK. Come December, the UK turns into a winter wonderland in preparation for the festive season. The weather outside might be frightful, but the cosy pubs, comfort food and Christmas markets should have you feeling all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

Monthly weather and travel tips for United Kingdom
December’s Christmas festivities may have come and gone, but there are still a handful of reasons to celebrate in the UK in January. Grey skies and plenty of drizzle will do their best to dampen spirits, so an umbrella and a raincoat are essential at this time of year.
The new year in the UK begins with the London Parade – when marching bands and troupes of scouts liven up the streets of the West End. Elsewhere in the UK, 25 January sees Scotland raise a glass to the life and works of poet Robert Burns. When you’re not celebrating with the locals, the wetter January weather lends itself perfectly to exploring some of the UK’s fascinating museums and art galleries.

The weather is usually at its coldest in the UK inFebruary, so it’s the best time to visit if you’re hoping for snow – particularly in Scotland, where there’s a chance you can catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights too.
With temperatures low and some rainy forecasts, the February events calendar in the UK may be on the quiet side, but the Six Nations Rugby Championship will be in full swing. International home games are played in London, Edinburgh and Cardiff. There’s also the chance to embrace York’s rich history and heritage with the Yorvik Viking Festival. If it’s getting a bit too chilly outside, you’ll find plenty of restaurants and pubs to cosy up in across the UK.

Flowers beginning to blossom offer a hint of the warmer months ahead, but average March temperatures in the UK tend to stay around a cool high of 10°C. This can easily drop down to the early single digits, so best to be on the safe side with an umbrella and warm clothing.
The start of spring brings with it a host of events, like the week of traditional Irish and Celtic music as part of Belfast's Féile an Earraigh festival. Saints’ days are also cause for celebration in March. Watch parades and concerts in Wales for St. David’s Day, or join in with neighbouring Ireland’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities in Belfast, London and cities all over the UK.

An umbrella is always a good idea in the UK, particularly with plenty of April showers in the weather forecasts. These intermittent bursts of rain do make way for warmer temperatures, sunnier skies and fresh air typical of spring in the UK – ideal conditions for walks and hikes in the countryside.
Make the most of the warmer weather by watching – or even taking part in – the London Marathon, or cheering on your favourite team as the Scottish Premiership draws to a close. With the English Premier League also nearing its final games, it’s easy to get swept up in sports – but save some time for other April activities too. There’s a week-long literary festival in Shakespeare’s hometown of Stratford, the annual Belfast Film Festival, and music and comedy during Wales’s Laugharne Weekend.

With the weather well warmed up, the UK takes to the outdoors for shows, football finals and all kinds of festivals. Public holidays in England at either end of May mean roads and public places get busier, as locals take advantage of the last month of spring and its longer days.
A big date on the calendar for many football fans in England is the FA Cup Final, decided on a (hopefully) sunny Saturday at Wembley Stadium. Elsewhere in the country, you’ll have a choice of festivals and shows, from three weeks of art performances in Brighton, to the Lake District’s Kenswick Mountain Festival and the beautiful Chelsea Flower Show. Wales’s Hay Festival is a must for art and literature lovers, while Belfast puts runners through their paces on the first Sunday of May each year.

Both hot weather and a busy events calendar make June one of the best times to visit the UK. With festival season and the pub garden scene in full swing, you’ll want to pack some sun cream for the long sessions outside in the British and Northern Irish summertime.
June’s festivals are some of the hottest tickets around in the UK. You’ll be spoilt for choice with the likes of Glasgow’s West End Festival, the Gŵyl Gregynog classical music fest in Wales, the Isle of Wight Festival and the legendary Glastonbury. Festivals aside, Pride events and the Trooping the Colour ceremony should both be high up on your to-do list in London – as should lying back and enjoying the weather in parks dotted around the UK.

As the UK’s hottest month, July brings long days filled with all kinds of fun outdoor activities. Sun cream is recommended, whether you’re sightseeing in the city, exploring the countryside or chilling on the beach.
Tennis fever grips the UK as world-class competitors battle it out on the grass courts at Wimbledon – cheering on your favourite player while gorging on strawberries and cream is an essential British summertime experience. Up in the north of England, locals celebrate all things agricultural at the Great Yorkshire Show, while Wales puts on a show of its own with the week-long International Musical Eisteddfod festival. If you’re in Scotland, expect some crowds in the seaside towns as the school holidays begin, and an even bigger turnout across the North Channel for Belfast Pride.

The UK may be into its last month of summer in August, but the jovial atmosphere shows no sign of slowing down. The weather plays its part too, with average temperatures coming in at a daily high of 21°C. Pack plenty of sun cream, especially if you’re in the more southerly spots where temperatures can creep into the high 20s, and even into the early 30s.
August is a busy festival period up and down the UK, so it’s worth checking ahead so you can either join the parties or steer clear of the busier roads around the cities hosting them. The likes of Reading, Leeds, Brecon Beacons and Edinburgh are all home to major festivals in August. Never one to miss out, London also hosts its own party in the form of Notting Hill Carnival, while in Liverpool you can celebrate the city’s greatest musical export during International Beatleweek.

September sees the weather start to cool and leaves start to fall as the UK enters autumn. Milder temperatures make it an ideal time of year to roam around the countryside and admire the trees as they change to an array of reds, oranges and yellows.
For something a little more fast-paced, there’s Tyneside’s Great North Run – the biggest half-marathon in the world when it comes to the number of runners – or the 44-mile mountain bike course that makes up the Brecon Beast. After challenging outdoor pursuits like these, it’s important to wrap up warm as the evening temperatures drop – head down to the catwalks at London Fashion Week to get some tips on autumn and winter wear from leading designers and fashion figures.

The UK is well into autumn by October, so expect grey skies, chilly weather and rain. The locals don’t let that stop them from getting out and about for Halloween parties, food festivals and countryside walks though. With a raincoat on and an umbrella in hand, you should be well equipped to join them and take in the best of the UK in autumn.
If you don’t mind the rain, there’s plenty that makes the UK worth a visit at this time of year. London rolls out the red carpet for its annual Film Festival, the homely Belfast pubs will look all the more inviting and your photos of Edinburgh landmarks will have an effortlessly cool, moody vibe.

Short days, dreary skies and lots of rain doesn't make the UK the most attractive place to visit in November. But with cold weather come less crowds, making exploring the UK’s cities, sites and landmarks that little bit easier.
One event bringing some warmth and colour to the otherwise grey skies of the UK is Guy Fawkes Night on 5 November, when locals commemorate a failed treason attempt with fireworks, bonfires and sparklers. Remembrance Day on 11 November is an important date in the UK, with fallen soldiers honoured with moments of silence and commemorative events. The city streets start to fill up towards the end of November in the lead up to Black Friday sales – whether you want to brave the crowds to pick up some bargains or stay well away from the busy shopping areas is up to you.

December in the UK revolves mainly around the Christmas and New Year celebrations towards the end of the month. Festive cheer might have you feeling warm inside, but a thick jacket and gloves are a good idea too to ward off the winter cold.
You’re likely to see Christmas lights whichever city you’re in – most will have been on since November – but the shop windows and sparkling illuminations along London’s Oxford Street are real showstoppers. If you’ve got all your Christmas shopping sorted already, then head to Winter Wonderland – in London or Cardiff – for all kinds of festive activities, like ice skating, fairground rides and mulled wine drinking. The nation’s New Year parties will be just around the corner – see out the year with a rendition of Auld Lang Syne during Scotland’s Hogmanay celebration.

For the best weather during your trip to the UK, visit between May and September. While sunny skies are never certain, these months – July and August in particular – are the warmest across all regions in the UK. You’ll feel the heat most in England, where temperatures can reach into the thirties, while Wales and Northern Ireland tend to have slightly cooler climates. In contrast, temperatures drop in December – most noticeably in Scotland, which is your best bet if you’re after some snow.

York is a great city to visit . Brilliant history with kids and fabulous Chinese restaurants! The YHA is a great place to stay and a lovely river walk into town . Very easy to get to by train
Bristol is a great place for a shopping trip, all the top retailers within the easy distance. Numerous and varied places to eat. I love to see the old street names and imagine them in times gone by. The Hippodrome theatre is a must.
Lovely compact town with nice shops, restaurants and cafes. Lovely walk around university area, castle, abbey and beach..and of course the golf course. 😊
Warm and clean little cottage, parking just outside door. Log burner, bath and coffee machine were lovely. Relaxing comfortable weekend. Owners easy and quick to contact. Difficult stairs if you have a disability
Overall the staff were friendly and the room was clean and bed comfortable. I loved the soaps. I didn’t like the fact that you had to pay extra for WI-FI and the gym. Being the Hilton, it would have been nice to have a toiletry pack that included a toothbrush, toothpaste and some body lotion. It would also have been nice to have a bathrobe.
Church Stretton to me is a paradise on earth. I feel a special connection to the place. I am madly in love with the Long Mynd! I have to go there at least twice a year to recharge. If I could I would live there. That place always makes me and my family happy. It is magical.
A beautiful place to visit. The museum by the church provided information about the history of the area. Lovely walks and beautiful shops selling crafts and artwork. Great choice of restaurants.
A pleasant town that would specifically suit antique hunters, dog owners and walkers. We booked the Bear Inn and ate there throughout our stay but there were alternative restaurants and cafes in the High street. Although it was too early in the year for boat trips etc I'm sure that Hungerford is much more active towards the Summer months.
The abbey is in the centre of this small town, there are lots of interesting small shops, cafes and pubs. It’s ideal for a short stay.
Friendly people, really easy to use the tube stations me and my partner really enjoyed ourselves we defiantly be coming back.
Lovely place - great market Nice pub Swan and Cemenetry
Fantastic shopping malls, restaurants, bars , full of local history
Manchester is a vibrant, exciting city, with so much to do, lot's of great restaurants and some beautiful architecture to be seen.
Letchworth is the first Garden City.it is pleasant but there isn't much going on, other than shopping and cafes. The town centre is mainly pedestrianised and easy to get around.
I visit Cambridge regularly, I love the architecture, the ambience, and I always find different things to do and places to visit. The buses are plentiful and cheap, taxis are reasonably priced. There are lots of cafes, bars and restaurants to suit all tastes. The city centre is only 0.5 Square miles so very easy to get around.
Sheringham is still the same seaside town, we visited 5yrs ago shops, pubs, restaurants all good
We enjoyed walking our dog along promenade in Barry. People very friendly and lots of places to eat. Fish and chips was exceptional. Most places dog friendly
Great place to visit for theatre s and river cruises
I loved the coastal walk, the restaurants serving smokies with other items.
Excellent location close to the South Downs Way with a convenient pub for an evening meal. The hosts were friendly and the accommodation was just what I needed after a long walk. Excellent breakfast
Lymington is a lovely town with a good mix of shops pubs and restaurants. The ferry to the Isle of Wight is on the doorstep and makes for a good day out.
I was there for an event at the Showground and didn't go anywhere else.
Staying in Seaburn is perfect. Beach location but just a short drive to city centre. Excellent location for SAFC matches!!! Great selection of places to eat and drink and lots of interesting places to visit.
Very relaxing walking along the prom & the pier
Beautiful town. Lots of walks. So peaceful. Great shopping lots of activity at the harbour. Amazing wildlife
Beautiful town great concert hall brilliant camp sites
Like New York Glasgow never sleeps. Great people so friendly. Can’t do enough for you
Plenty of walks and beautiful scenery. Loads of shopping available as well as opportunity to relax.
Do make a point of having your eveing meal here. The quality of ingredients and cooking is superb.
Lovely village , people charming and polite lovely shops to browse around. Made to feel welcome and some nice places to walk
Only stayed one night seemed to have lots of walks for dogs which we enjoyed.
Lovely shopping centres. Not. A keen fan of city centres as it quite busy and noisy.
Just love the place,it’s quiet and a joy to visit
its a great city and has something for everyone..culture, great shopping, excellent restaurants, fab nightlife...and free buses to get around
Coventry was better than expected. It was pretty clean, and green. The Cathedral was amazing and a real must see if you are interested in architecture and the stone carvings. Coventry had some nice cobbled streets and a couple of good art galleries. Worth a visit. The rugby in the stadium was great.
We enjoyed looking at the sites around the city and how much history York had. It was very easy to go around and had nice long walks when there. Also pub just around the corner and good places to eat. Lovely place to visit for weekends away.
Big enough to have variety and explore without being bored. Small enough to not be heaving and overloaded with visitors. Still undeveloped in a good way. A genuine Cornwall fishing village that hasn't been overtaken by the 21st century. Really enjoyed it, found it relaxing and the locals very friendly.
Robert Burns's birthplace and museum are lovely to visit. Good choice of restaurants and bars. We liked the Blue Lagoon Fish and Chicken shop. It is easy to get around. Ayr has a good choice of supermarkets. It was sad to see so many shops closed in the main street and there weren't a lot of shops selling gifts and souvenirs.
Atmosphere, the local people very helpful and friendly. Loved exploring the castle and seeing all 7 bridges crossing the Tyne. Lovely walks a long the riverside
*Beautiful spacious studio flat is quiet location *Tea and coffee with bottle of milk to kick start our stay * Welch cakes and organic honey as welcome gifts *Not far from the train station *Very friendly helpful hosts *On a small hill
Bristol is a lovely city and the locals are very friendly and helpful, it was a pleasure to interact with the Bristolians of all ages. Very nice people, they enjoy themselves and life. The city and country walks are great. Great museums, nightlife, diversity of world cuisine restaurants, city walks, touristic attractions, diversity in city tours types, Banksy art works is a must see. His are is the most currently relevant in England.
Eskdale is a wonderfully quiet part of the Lake district with stunning views and a good base for exploring Wasdale with all its mountains and the spectacular Wastwater. Also access to the little railway and the passes over to Landgdale and the busy Lake district. All roads out of Eskdale have great views. It is even handy for the unspoiled coastline. One of the best places to get away from the crowds.
Beautiful little cove. Fresh food and wonderful local greeting
We were warned about a scheduled power cut ay 21.00h and when we went for a walk there were some lights around the harbour probably on a back up generator. There are a number of practical and touristy shops with places to sit and enjoy the lapping of the waves on the shore. The people are very friendly and helpful.
Great public transport. Buy an Oyster card for £5 and top up along the way. Stay near a place near to the underground station. Take the Hop in and off bus. Great and cheap way to cover all main attractions. If z are of a bigger body size, better book twin beds instead of a double bed for couples as the bed tend to be small. Pls ensure lift is provided if u are traveling with big suitcases. Pls ensure u book place with Aircorn if u are afraid of the heat.
We love everything about Llandudno, been coming for years.
Beautiful place with outstanding architecture, plenty to do and see. Multiple food options. Touring bus available for a price with hop on/off options. independent shops selling all kinds of quirky items. Homemade items also.
Absolutely beautiful location if you want a break from the city. I would highly recommend having a car as the closest convenience store is too far to walk to.
Corinium museum—fantastic Good car parks Excellent Italian restaurant
Very nice stop for a night or two. Boat tours for Lock Ness can be booked from here. Interesting to watch the locks lowering and raising water levels. The White House B&B was close to everything and a great place to stay.
Good vibe in town despite rain ..very friendly locals.
Amazing service all Staff are helpful and kind. Mark the night manager went above and beyond to help me keep safe and well. I would highly recommend staying here, its also a lovely family friendly place too.
The countryside the beautiful gardens the trees all so well kept and beautiful.
The City is full of young people and is very dynamic. Also, it is orderly and peaceful. You will not worry about your personal safety at night. The city centre is clean. The city planning is good with a hormony of mixture old /historical and modern buildings. People are friendly. Overall, a nice place to work and live.
Edinburgh has lots of great architecture and charming side streets with a vast range of eateries. The castle and the Royal Mile are very popular with visitors and they can be quite busy.
Ludlow is a hidden gem. Gorgeous old Tudor buildings in a place that feels nice to walk around. Great market but the highlight is the river, we saw kingfishers right in town. Sadly no sightings of the otters. Lovely walks along river.
Charming Cathedral City. Beautiful architecture and river walks.
Lovely choice of eating places and beuatiful little theatre
Nice little dog friendly town, much quieter than near by Paignton and Torquay...well worth a visit.
Lovely town and pub. Perfect for a few days away. Definitely want to return.
I was only there for a meeting and a further meeting 2 days later. Looking around I found the city centre really badly run down.
Loved the Titanic experience and Belfast Castle. Civic Hall beautiful shopping fantastic. Xmas decorations just beautiful.
Even out of season enough around town et al to occupy Self. Would have liked access to summit Great Orme, Bus or Tram incapable of Walking up nowadays but down good. Knew Transport stops time of year, obviously numbers not enough locals to cater for to be worthwhile.
It was a pleasure staying there it had character clean fresh smell beautiful place plenty to look around the village lovely take away food spar very close by there not a bad thing I can say
Excellent range of shops. The railway museum is one of the best museums in the UK. Good choice of restaurants. Easy city to walk around.
Have never stayed at a Days Inn before. For the price paid, wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. It had everything we needed really...good location ( just off the motorway) at service area - so food options, Clean, comfortable bed, good shower and tv and Internet. Some refurbishment needed, but not enough to put us off using again.
Great historic town with bars restaurants a marina and fabulous beaches within walking distance
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Everything was great.
