Hello good people… Am planning a trip to Scotland from New York this July and I’m curious about what the weather will be like. Can anyone who’s been there during July share their experiences? What temperatures can I expect, and should I pack for cooler weather or is it usually warm? TIA

Scotland in July typically marks the peak of summer, so you won’t need to pack for extremely cold weather.
Here’s what you can expect:
Temperature Range: During July, average daytime highs range from 17-20°C (63-68°F), while nighttime lows can drop to 11-12°C (52-54°F).
Sunshine and Daylight: You’ll enjoy pleasant weather with extended daylight hours and ample sunshine. However, Scotland’s weather can be changeable, so be prepared for occasional rain showers.
Additional Packing Tips for Scotland in July:
Layering: It’s advisable to pack layers of clothing to adapt to varying temperatures throughout the day. A lightweight rain jacket is essential for unexpected showers.
Warmth for Evenings: Despite the summer season, evenings can still be cool. Bringing along a sweater or sweatshirt ensures you stay comfortable outdoors.
Footwear: Scotland offers fantastic outdoor exploration opportunities, so pack comfortable walking shoes or sturdy hiking boots for uneven terrain.

A lot of precipitation. Sadly, you have to prepare for inclement weather when packing. Carry a sweater. Bring your boots. However, there are also some lighter items. Even in a single day, the highlands can experience a significant variation in temperature.
