Is scotland still beautiful in the winter? is there any green?

Does it get below freezing during the Winter months along the coast of Ireland and Scotland?

  • And, during the Summer months, how hot does it get along the coasts of Ireland and Scotland? I have considered searching these questions on Google, but I feel that those people that live along the coasts would be able to give me a more solid answer! Thank you

  • Answer:

    To answer both parts of the question you asked. 1) It does drop below freezing along the coast of Ireland and Scotland, but not a lot below as most temperatures in January hover around 5ºC. The East coast is colder than the west. 2) July temperature is around 15ºC. This is caused by the Atlantic ocean absorbing heat in the summer and releasing it in the winter. That is why it is so moderate. Hope that helps :)

The east coast of Scotland is much colder in winter, and it regularly goes below freezing. The west is warmed by the North Atlantic Drift. That's why you get palm trees as far north as Inverewe.

Yes, freezing is quite likely. However... both countries sit at a fairly northern latitude so the weather is normally unstable on the western coasts. It can be a beautiful clear, cold day when you wake up, and a warmer howling gale by the time you have lunch. The eastern coasts are normally drier and colder in the winter simply because the predominant direction for weather hitting Scotland is from the west; Ireland is the same. Any rain has normally fallen before it reachs the east. Temperatures can reach eighty fahrenheit in a normal summer, average in Scotland is closer to seventy fahrenheit though.

Of course, well im In Roscommon the west of Ireland (not near the coast) and it was -3 this morning!! So i would definately think it would be more cooler along the coast.
