Glasgow: When to Go

The main tourist period is April to September, and the height of the season is during the school holidays in July and August when accommodation is at a premium. 'Varied' is a vague but accurate way to describe the many moods of Scotland's cool temperate climate. The weather changes quickly - a rainy day is often followed by a sunny one. There are also wide variations over small distances; while one glen broods under a cloud, the next may be basking in sunshine. As some locals are wont to say, 'If you don't like the weather just wait five minutes'. May and June are generally the driest months, but expect rain at any time. Storms are rare April to August.
