Its climate varies depending on location.
Scotland generally enjoys a temperate climate but gets affected by its position right next to the Atlantic Ocean’s Gulf Stream. This results in Scotland having milder winters and wetter summers than the rest of Britain, or even Europe as a whole.
It also results in Western Scotland enjoying more rain than what Eastern Scotland receives. On average, Western Scotland receives over 3 meters of rain in a single year. In contrast, Eastern Scotland only receives an estimated 800 mm of rain, at most, in a single year. Similarly, the Scottish Highlands receives more snow per year, with up to 59 snow days on average. However, the lowlands average to 10 snow days per year.
