'Varied' is an accurate way to describe the many moods of Scotland's cool temperate climate. The weather changes quickly - a rainy day is often followed by a sunny one. There are also wide variations over small distances; while one glen broods under a cloud, the next may be basking in sunshine. May and June are generally the driest months, but expect rain at any time. Storms are rare April to August.
