Like most of Scotland, Edinburgh has a temperate maritime climate which can be quite windy at times and often experiences all four seasons during one day. You may want to pack a raincoat and umbrella just in case as you will be visiting the UK after all! We’re sorry we can’t be more help, but you’ll see a weather widget on the home page to help you plan nearer the time.
