What is the weather like in England during August?

At the moment we are having one of the wettest summers on record with local flooding all over the UK. We are all hoping for a sunny late July and August. Temperature should be about 70 F = 21 C and hopefully a bit warmer but who knows ?

It is hard to predict our weather accurately more than five days in advance. Normally, I would say that it should be 22C+ with only a small chance of significant rain.

However, this year has been very odd. We had the hottest April on record, followed by the wettest May and June. It continues to be unsettled but there is a glimmer of hope for the period you mention!

Bring a pack away rain jacket. It may be wet but it's not particularly cold.

It's unusually wet here, so I recommend something light, breathable and at least showerproof like a Berghaus paclite or something similar that you can slip on. Thin layers are best, obviously in case it is hot, but other days have been quite cool, about 18 deg C, in which case you may need a light sweater or something. At the moment the temperature here is about 17 deg C. It feels cool today but I am not complaining because I prefer the cooler weather. I hate being sticky and hot. Unfortunately, you will need to bring a mix of clothes as it is unpredictable.

Bring clothes for all weathers. You can't predict how the weather will be a month ahead in the UK. It's notoriously changeable

Bring clothes for all weathers, our summers are so unpredictable. Augusts tends to warm up.

Cold and wet.
