The weather in Edinburgh is changeable and unpredictable and it is wise to carry an umbrella. Sunny skies can alter quickly into murky drizzle during summer. The weather in Edinburgh during summer is usually fine and mild, though, with days dawning in mist and turning to brilliant sunshine. Most of the rain falls during winter, particularly in December, January and February, when the weather tends to stay gloomy and damp with the odd bright frosty day. Snow is unusual. Spring is the best time to visit Edinburgh when the city's parks are cloaked in gorgeous flowering trees and annuals.
