Edinburgh Weather

The climate in Edinburgh is most pleasant from May to September, but whenever you go, you're likely to see both sun and rain (or snow). In summer, daylight hours are long, and the evenings are luxuriously lengthy. In winter, it's cold and daylight hours are short, but with so much going on, Edinburgh is a wonderful place to visit at any time of the year, . There is one caveat: the city becomes impossibly crowded during the main festival period from August to early September, so make reservations well ahead of time if you plan to visit then.
