Weather

Although the seasonal differences in Britain are not as extreme as in some countries, there is still a large difference between winter and summer. The year is split into four seasons roughly each 3 months long, though the weather in Britain can be very erratic and so the seasons often overlap or don’t follow the standard pattern.

Below you can find the general weather conditions of each season in England.

Spring

March – May

Average Min/Max Temperatures:
9.3°C- 15.4°C

11-15 hours

Springtime in the UK is all about new life springing up after the harsh winter with plants shooting up all over the country and trees re-gaining their leafs. The temperature starts to get warmer, frost gets less frequent and the days start to get longer. However, spring is often still quite wet and windy so don’t get your sandals out too early!

Summer

June – August

18.1°C- 20.6°C

Summertime in the UK should be hot and dry but it does still rain quite a bit during most summers. On some days, temperatures can reach 30oC where most of the public will make the most of the weather and spend time outdoors or visit the towns with a beach!

Autumn makes the gradual change from summer to winter and is probably the season with the biggest range in weather conditions.
