    Hopefully it should be dry (maybe an occasional shower) and not too cold. I don't think you will need to bring a warm coat, but take an umbrella (just in case!) A few light layers and light jacket should be ok. Here is a link for you to keep a check on the weather - http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?world=0006

    Glasgow weather is typical of Scottish weather and often unpredictable.

    The summer months (May to September) can be fine and sunny and quite mild. The winds are generally westerly, due to warm Gulf Stream. The warmest month, on average is July, averaging over 20°C. However it can be very changeable, and normally a few degrees colder than southern England. Mornings can be damp and misty, or "dreich" (a Scottish word for damp and drizzly) and by afternoon sunny and warm.

    Spring (March to May) is fairly mild and is a wonderful and popular time to visit Glasgow. Though some days are rainy and windy, Many of Glasgow's trees begin to flower at this time of the year and Glasgow's parks and gardens are filled with spring colour.

    Winters in Glasgow can be long and damp with fewer sunny days (though surprisingly warmer than other countries on the same latitude as Glasgow due to the effects of the Gulf Stream). The winds can be chilling and cold, though severe snow is infrequent and doesn't last too long. December, January and February are the wettest months of the year, though can be sunny if not warm!

    April 11 4 7 (45°F)

    June 17 9 13 (55°F)

    Weather In Glasgow In June

  • 1 decade ago

    It's likely that you won't need a warm coat, as even if it's raining in late May / early June in Glasgow, the temperature is pretty mild.

    Have a look at this wee guide for starters:

    Hope you enjoy the conference.

    Glasgow is rarely so cold but does have a tendency to rain on you. a jacket to protect u from horrid water would be a good idea!

    It is changeable, last year it was lovely and Sunny but it could be cold and wet, I would go for layering and light jacket.
