Re: Tips for vacation in the UK?

Early September is possibly among the best times to visit Scotland. Scottish schools have been back for a few weeks, English schools are back in early September so it's not as crowded with domestic tourists. It's late summer-early autumn so you're not coming at a time where you're going to get your face ripped off by rain being blasted into it by the wind.

It MIGHT (definitely, maybe) rain but there's still enough daylight and the temperatures are still high enough for it not to be much of a problem. There's been a few Septembers since I've lived here where we've definitely got "Indian Summer" conditions and it's still been sunny, warm and reasonably dry. Early October seems to be the turning point into constant miserable weather tbh.

Still long enough days in September that you're not rushing around trying to beat the sunset. If you'd said they were considering e.g. late November I'd say "yikes" because the short daylight hours are brutal by that point.

Anyway, the best advice for a walking-heavy holiday in Scotland is always: bring good shoes and bring LAYERS. Just because the temperature predictions look low comparatively doesn't mean the humidity won't have other ideas.

Not OP

Oh no. I am going to Scotland in September primarily FOR the rain. (I'm in a part of the US that has been struggling with drought-filled summers for the last few years. I WANT to get caught in a downpour.) Hearing that there have been spells of sunny, reasonably dry weather around that time makes me a bit worried about my trip.

It's really hard to predict honestly. There's the whole joke about where I am (Glasgow) getting four seasons in one day, or if you don't like the current weather...wait 30 minutes. If it's unseasonably warm in September it will still rain from time to time and we only seem to get a handful of days of weirdly wrong temperatures before it goes back to normal.

For reference we had a horrifically dry June by Scottish standards, roughly 3 weeks of 23-28 degrees (that's C not F.) Then the last week in June hit...and it rained. It has rained a lot this past week or so. But it's also humid still so you don't feel much cooler than when the temperature was higher. You probably won't have this issue so much in September!

Please don't worry about it, it will more than likely rain at some point! Having nearly 3 clear weeks of dry last month was VERY weird.

I was in Scotland in September back in 2016 and it rained almost the whole time I was there (three days total). Having gone from Greece up along the eastern border of Europe to Scotland, there were days when it was unbearably warm. The rain was welcomed.
