The weather in Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh is very changeable. Spring can be fresh and bright, autumn days can be crisp and cool, there can be warm, sunny summers and cold, snowy winters... it's full of surprises!
The weather is an important part of Scotland's charm: the mist and fog add a certain mystery to the lochs and castles and without the rain Scotland would not be the beautiful green country that it is. Overall, the average temperature in July is 21C and the average January temperature is 2C but the important thing is to be prepared for any kind of weather.
