Best time to visit United Kingdom

Peak season (June to August): Summer brings long days, outdoor events, and average temperatures around 18–23°C (64–73°F), especially pleasant for sightseeing and countryside walks. Shoulder season (April to May, September to October): Milder weather with temperatures of about 10–18°C (50–64°F) and fewer crowds makes this a comfortable time for both cities and rural areas.
