Weather Conditions in Glasgow
Whenever you’re planning your travels, it’s always good to have an idea about the weather of your intended destination so you can pick the perfect dates for your visit. This is especially true for Glasgow, where you can go from sunshine to rain to back to sunshine in a matter of minutes. That’s why we’ve put together this guide on the best time to travel to Glasgow.
June and August are the summer months, ideally the best time to go to Glasgow if you like warmer weather (albeit there’s always a chance of rain) and longer daylight hours for you to explore the city. Highlights of the season include the Glasgow Art Fair in April, the Science Festival and West End Festival in June.
Fall months are September till November, bringing with it more humidity and rainfall as well as cooler temperatures. You’ll need to carry the right clothing and accessories to protect yourself. Shorter days and longer nights don’t mean you’ll have less to do. The city stays up late so it’s the best time to visit Glasgow to experience the nightlife.
Winter lasts from December to February, bringing long chilly nights with it. While it may not seem like ideal sightseeing weather, the off-season means you could bag some great deals. Though you’ll still need those umbrellas! Hogmanay and the sight of snow are standouts of the season.
The Film Festival and International Comedy Festival are just two of the reasons why you could see spring as the best time to go to Glasgow, with the weather much warmer than winter, plenty of activities across the city and a lush blooming flowers dotting the city.
