The United Kingdom brings together England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, islands of rolling farmland, highland moors, chalk cliffs and old industrial cities. London dominates the south-east, Edinburgh and the Scottish Highlands carry castles and lochs, Snowdonia lies to the west, and the Lake District and Cornwall give contrast. Summer from May to September has the longest days and the best chance of dry weather, while winter is cold, dark and often wet.
Warmest month: August (19°C). Wettest: November (100 mm). Best overall score: June (9.4/10).

Climate data: Open-Meteo ERA5 historical archive, the five most recent complete years (2021–2025). Scores are monthly averages for that window, not forecasts, and short-window precipitation can differ from longer-term normals. “Sunny days” count days with at least 6 hours of measured sunshine — they are not dry days.
