Guernsey Weather

Guernsey Weather - Boasting the best all round climate in the UK
The weather of Guernsey enjoys the best record of sunshine in the UK with warmish summers and winters that are for the most part, mild and rarely bitterly cold. The climate is similar to that of the neighbouring coastline of northern France and is influenced by the maritime atmospheric conditions of the English Channel. This produces fine weather that is never too hot nor has extreme low temperatures. Being so close to the UK mainland it is no surprise to learn that Guernsey weather can be extremely changeable and visits at any time should be well prepared for all conditions.    

Weather in Guernsey - Settled and fine summers
Summers are peak season for tourism, with generally fine summery days to look forward to and average temperatures which can reach 21c. As with the rest of the UK, isolated hot spells can occur for an all too brief period here raising the thermometer up to near 30c on occasion. Over the course of a summer season the weather in Guernsey is much more settled than can be expected on the mainland where a short break may well see perfect sunny skies and warm temperatures for the duration. Rain will inevitably fall during summertime with some frequency although showers tend to be reasonably brief.  

Guernsey Weather - Many sunny and mild days in winter
Winter city breaks in Guernsey produce short days that will feel chilly and windy on many occasions but also sees some days of crisp sunshine and temperatures that never fall drastically low. An average winter day should see temperatures no lower than 6 - 8c which is still mild enough for activities and sightseeing although only hardy individuals will feel brave enough for swimming. Rainfall will be frequent but does not often wash out whole days, instead may produce brief spells of wet weather and possibly a few hours of overcast skies. Due to its proximity to the sea from all points, Guernsey weather seldom sees snow and widespread frost although dense sea mist is often a hazard for shipping in the area.
