These last few years the weather has been weird. I live in Caithness (the very far north of the Scottish mainland @ 58ºN) and late winter 2018/19 was so mild people began mowing their lawns in February: normally it would be around April before they had to. Summer 2018 was long, hot and sunny whereas summer 2019 was a Tuesday, I think.

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.

When I tell people I love Scotland as a holiday destination, I'm almost certainly asked "Doesn't it rain a lot there?" and my usual answer to that is "Yes, so what?". As long as you have some protective clothing with you, it'll take you two days at most and you'll be all Scottish about it ;-) And: It only rarely rains for a whole day. Instead you get a mix of rain and dry weather and there's nothing better than the sun coming out after a bit of rain, illuminating Scotland's beautiful scenery!

When the sun comes out after the rain and you're driving you can't see a thing because of the reflections on the road

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.

[@kb6358]

Yes last time I bought an umbrella it turned inside out by a strong wind gust

Well, I am from Scotland and use umbrella regularly but I don't by the cheap fold up ones, I get the more expensive heavier umbrella, they seem to resist the wind more.

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.

[@adamlea6339]

Scotland has several microclimates thanks to the hills. The north west highlands are very wet, up to four metres of rain annually in the mountains. The east side of Scotland is much drier, being in the rain shadow of the western highlands. The Moray coast (around Kinloss) is drier than many parts of southern England. Dundee is one of the driest and sunniest places in Scotland. Some parts around Fife/Dundee have less than 600mm of rain per year on average. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Scotland#Rainfall
