Edinburgh in June

June in Edinburgh: average highs of 18°C, lows of 11°C and 11 hours of sunshine a day. A starting point for planning around the historical weather.

June in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, brings average daily highs of 18°C and overnight lows of 11°C in the 2016–2025 historical record. Pack clothes you can layer as conditions change. The average leaves room for both warmer and cooler days, so a flexible walking plan is more useful than deciding every outdoor stop before you arrive.

In the record, at least 1 mm of rain or snow falls on 12 of 30 days on average, a daily chance of 40%. Give wet-weather alternatives a proper place in the itinerary. Arrange outdoor plans so you can move them between days, and pack a rain layer rather than relying on a completely dry run of weather.

The calculated day length, sunrise to sunset, averages about 17 hours. Sunshine averages 11 hours a day. The longer daylight window gives you more choice about when to be outside; it does not mean every part of the day will be sunny. Sunshine is a separate measure, and those hours need not arrive in one uninterrupted stretch.

For nature trips or walks, keep the longest outings movable and check route conditions locally; a monthly climate average cannot establish whether a particular path is accessible. For a culture-focused visit, group the places you want to see into manageable areas, with time between stops. Check each venue's opening dates before fixing the order.

July has an average daily high of 19°C, 1°C higher than June. Its historical rain-day chance is 47%, compared with 40% this month. If your dates are flexible, compare those trade-offs with the kind of days you want. Neither set of averages predicts the conditions of one particular holiday.
