Extremes of hot or cold are rare. The key word is changeable: the weather can be bad one minute, great the next. That said, Oxford can get pretty chilly during the autumn/winter months. The most pleasant time to travel is during spring/summer, from May to September, when temperatures can get up to a whopping 20°C (68°F). That said, if you want to see Oxford full of students instead of tourists, you should visit from October to December and from mid-January onwards.
