How to dress for a visit to the United Kingdom?

Question

My family and I are taking a trip around Britain, Scotland, and Ireland in about 2 weeks. We plan travel for a long time and want to be prepared. We are unsure of how the weather generally is during this time of the year, and it is making it hard for us to pack.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

the weather here has been rain rain rain and a bit sun so take a few jumpers and lots of warm gear and a water proof coat ...

Answer 2

ive beenn to england a bunch of times and last time i went 2 weeks ago it was COLD! and the weather changes ALOT right now it would probably  be in the 55s to the 65s farenhight but remember the weather changes alot!

Answer 3

i live in england and can say that jeans and t-shirt is the staple.esp if your going from now on till spetember, jeans (that you can roll up if need be), short-sleeved t-shirt and light jacket or cardy, for girls or boys, is perfect and pretty much what everyone wears all the time. mite wanna bring an umbrella tho!

Answer 4

it is summer season, therefore it should not be to cold - but in case the weather will change it can be very cilly and even cold in the north of Scotland.

bring a light rain jacket and a good pullover that keeps you warm or a more strong rain jacket and you will be ok I guess

an umbrella can be helpful too, most hotels and so on in the UK are having some at their reception

have a great trip, I love Scotland ;-)

Answer 5

Well that is a very general question, since the UK consists of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You don't say how long you're going for or what you plan on doing while there. Will you be traveling by train or bus? Driving around? Hiking? England generally has fickle weather. The day can start out sunny with a high of 20° celcius(you'll have to remember that) and then end up with thundershowers and colder temps. Dress like you're going to the rockies. Warm weather, with some rain thrown in for good measure.

Answer 6

Unpredictable. End of story. You can't pack the right clothing at this time of year and get it right. Probably rainy though :)
