What is the best time to visit Aberdeen?
Late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September) offer the most reliable weather for sightseeing, with milder temperatures and fewer rain days. July and August are warmest but also busiest, especially around the harbour and Old Aberdeen. Winter months are cold and dark, though crisp days can be lovely for a coastal walk.
What should I pack for Aberdeen?
Essentials include a waterproof shell, a mid-layer fleece or jumper, comfortable walking shoes, and a warm hat and gloves from October to March. Even in summer, a light jacket is wise. The wind off the North Sea can make it feel cooler than the thermometer suggests, so always check the 10-day forecast before you pack.
