Cheltenham Weather, When to Go and Climate Information
(Cheltenham, England, UK)
Those paying a visit to Cheltenham can expect the summer climate to generally be warm and inviting. Late spring and May in particular is often a very sunny and pleasant time in Cheltenham, with plenty of fine weather.
However, it should be said that although the summer climate can be favourable, it can also be a little unpredictable and wet some years, with heavy rain on occasion. Rainy weather rarely lasts more than a few days at a time during Cheltenham's summers, and often when the early part of the summer has been especially damp, late summer is particularly warm and may well run into the early part of autumn.
Seasonal Climate Variations / When to Go
In good years, the warm summer climate can see seasonal highs exceeding 25°C / 77°F, and reaching more than 30°C / 86°F when the weather is at its sunniest, usually between July and August. That said, daytime summer temperatures of around 22°C / 72°F or 23°C / 73°F are more the norm in Cheltenham, with evenings being mild and perfect for nightlife.
The winter weather in Cheltenham is seldom extreme and often damp, with overnight frost occurring sporadically between December and March. Snow is more likely to fall after Christmas and although some snow flurries generally fall most winters, snow doesn't usually settle for long.
