Weather information

Edinburgh enjoys a moderate year-round climate, with none of the violent extremes of weather, which could interrupt a meeting schedule or social calendar.

From April to September, temperatures are mild and compare favourably with other European cities; annual rainfall is the same as Frankfurt, New York and Rome.

A perfect Edinburgh day dawns with a clear blue sky, warm and pleasant in summer - though in winter often accompanied by a sharp frost.

It's always worth packing a sweater against the chance of changeable Edinburgh weather conditions.
