Glasgow's Climate
Glasgow lies on the River Clyde in southwest Scotland, close to the Atlantic coast, giving it a mild oceanic climate that is cool and damp all year. The North Atlantic Drift keeps temperatures gentle: summers (June–August) are cool at around 17–20°C by day and rarely hot; winters (December–February) are wet and windy, usually 2–7°C, with the occasional frost or snow. Rain falls fairly evenly across every month under mostly cloudy skies, and it ranks among Britain's rainiest cities. Spring and autumn are cool and changeable, with fast-shifting weather.
