What is the average temperature in the UK?

Answer 1

I am going to ANSWER this question AND
NOT ANSWER it. Explanation --

U.K. includes Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland (probably for a while yet) and many surrounding islands.

Living on one of those islands can be VERY different. Scotland is MUCH colder in the winter.

It is already big enough that the average temperature or mean temperature, even the temperature ranges, will vary.

If you PICK a CITY there is a url in Nunitak's Blog for pulling up the temp for that city; it is in the article that says something like Energy and Weather Info for savvy people. It has your info for all cities of the world.

I actually lived in London for three years. So I will give you an experience answer as to clothing. On average you need a T-shirt, ordinary shirt, and sweater. You may have to take the sweater off during day, but will need it at night.

If you go up a mountain, even a little, you will REALLY need that sweater (BTW, it has to be a GOOD sweater).

That's for a guy who is fine in flannel shirt at 60 degrees F. Girls usually want a jacket for that, maybe even gloves.

This does not mention the RAIN which can happen anytime, maybe several times in one day. If you get WET enough, no clothes are enough. So you need a TRENCHCOAT, or at least an UMBRELLA available.

In the WINTER it is cold and clammy, often foggy. Add gloves and a hat, a lining for your trenchcoat.

Thin soled shoes are NOT GOOD for cool and wet places. If you are outside a long time at night or in the winter those thin office socks from the USA are best replaced by something better.

I liked dressy boots (not work boots) when I was there, good just about all the time except the warmest part of summer, good for sneakers.

What was the average temp? I do not have a mind like DATA, so this is a guess, 55 degrees F.

Even the hottest part of summer was really nice and NOT BAD to an American who can't take too much heat.

It can also get rather windy, more so in the mountains (small mountains). Enough to kill you in the winter time, especially in Scotland, even Wales. Wind chill, you know?

So, if you are the really adventurous type, maybe your trenchcoat should be made out of leather and have a fleece lining. That is something that will disappear fast there if you aren't careful.

For most people a lesser trenchcoat will do.

Most American gals would find those rabbit furry boots from Canada very desirable. Brit gals like them too. But not if you will only be there for the summer.

Answer 2

Mary is right about Florida. In north Florida, it gets quite cold and sometimes snows-- to get an accurate answer, look up Tallahassee or Pensacola cities sites for average weather. Orlando will also have a different range. Miami and the Florida Keys will be pretty similar within a few degrees. I live in this area and the winter average is about 65-70, although we can have a few cold snaps down in the low 50's but it doesn't last more than a few days at a time. (It gives you a chance to wear that new sweater you got last Christmas!)

Answer 3

I'm assuming you mean as at currently time 6 February 2007 average throughout the UK:

At a guess during day 5 degrees Celsius
At night -2 degrees Celsius

To cold for my liking.

Answer 4

Just to cloud the issue, as UK has peculiar weather! It's about -4 today and 6 inches of snow - check out the weather station bbc.co.uk/weather to see for yourself!
