Scotland weather year round is cool and maritime, with mild winters and modest summers. In Edinburgh and Aberdeen, average highs range from about 6°C in January to 19°C in July.

What is the best month to visit Scotland for good weather?
May and June offer the best balance: longer daylight (up to 18 hours in the north), lower rainfall, and comfortable highs of 15–18°C. July and August are warmer but busier and wetter.
