Lincoln Weather, When to Go and Climate Information

(Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England, UK)



View of Steep Hill on a sunny dayThe climate experienced in Lincoln is greatly influenced by its setting close to the eastern coastline of England and its resultant proximity to the sea. Lincoln enjoys relatively mild winter weather, with the sea temperatures helping to reduce the likelihood of sharp frosts.

However, during the summer months, Lincoln's climate is usually at least three degrees cooler than the south coast, and can be as much as five degrees cooler on occasion. The weather is at its warmest in July, when daytime temperatures reliably average around 20°C / 68°F or 21°C / 70°F, and have been known to climb to 25°C / 77°F or even higher, although this is far from what could be considered to be the norm.
