Winters in Glasgow are long and wet, with cold winds and some snow. Despite some infrequent clear or dry days, winter city breaks in Glasgow are normally damp and cold. Winds and rainfall are often fairly chilling and strong, like the rest of the region. Severe snowfalls are infrequent and melt within days. December, January and February are the wettest months of the year, but can often be sunny and clear. If your short weekend break falls in the winter months, don’t forget to pack warm clothing.
Stock up on rock salt and be fully prepared for potentially hazardous icy pavements, walkways and car parks near your place of work. Keep pedestrians and drivers safe when the weather makes for hazardous walking and driving conditions, with our choice of easy to use salt packs.
