Where should you go in Scotland in july when it comes to the weather?

Remember:
The climate in Scotland in july ranges from good to tolerable depending on the region and city.

The improvement of climatic conditions is very gradual, at the rate of a few degrees per month. Thus, the climate throughout July in Scotland remains dominated by the cool temperatures that rarely exceed 15° C. Moreover, a slight increase in precipitation does not necessarily favor the quality of the weather. As a result, throughout July, the majority of Scotland's territory has just acceptable climatic conditions.

West of Scotland in July

The island of Skye sees its temperatures climb discreetly. Due to the influence of the Atlantic, the mildness of the atmosphere characterizes the climatic conditions of the island. In this region, the weather in Scotland throughout July is distinguished by the relative abundance of rainfall. However, it is possible to enjoy the cloud thinnings to discover the cultural riches of this island.

If one is visiting the city of Oban, one will enjoy warmer temperatures - with an average of 17° C during the hottest hours of the day.

Eastern Scotland in July

All of the localities on the east coast of Scotland are favored by higher temperatures, but only exceed the 20° C barrier very rarely. Moreover, even if the rains can occur at any time of the day, they remain relatively low and allow to benefit from nice sunny moments.

Northern Scotland and the Shetland Islands in July

Even though the Shetland Islands have a milder atmosphere than the rest of the country, the weather in Scotland throughout July is relatively pleasant because days with beautiful sun are more numerous; whereas in Thurso the humidity is still high.
