When to go
The best time to visit England is
summer, from June to August: it is quite rainy everywhere, but also relatively sunny.
The mid-summer period (July-August) is pleasantly warm in the south, and between one shower and another, the sun can come out. Actually, sometimes there may be hot days, especially in inland areas and in the south.
The
sea is cold even in summer: in August, the temperature of the Atlantic Ocean reaches 17 °C (63 °F) in the English Channel and in Cornwall.
Since the English climate is not characterized by weather extremes, there is no season to be absolutely avoided, although it must be said that from November to January, the days are very short and the sky is often gray or cloudy, moreover, in winter, from December to February, but sometimes also in November and March, there may be cold periods, with snow and frost.
What to pack
In
winter: pack warm clothes, such as a sweater, a coat, a wind jacket, and a raincoat. For colder periods: pack gloves, a hat, and a scarf.
In
summer: pack clothes for spring and autumn, a jacket and a sweater, and a raincoat or umbrella. In the area of London, it's more likely that in some days you can wear light clothing, a T-shirt and shorts.
