Weather & Time Zone

Weather in the United Kingdom

The climate of the UK varies with seasons. It is relatively warmer in summer, with the temperature ranging from 14-50°C between June and August. Winter comes in December and lasts till February when temperature can plunge to 1 – 5°C. There is a slight difference in the climate between England and Scotland as it is moderately warmer in the South East (near London) and South West England and much colder in the north and Scotland.

Weather fluctuates much over the year. Hence, it is necessary to take the appropriate clothing. Students might need something for winter and summer (in case temperature has a sudden drop or rise) and must keep a thick jacket, a raincoat or an umbrella. Please take a look at the table below to get the set of clothing most suitable to your needs.
