Wales with its own language is a beautiful part of the United Kingdom with rolling countryside, picturesque villages and a rugged coastline. Visitors to this part of the UK will be impressed by the warmth of the local people.

 Although it may feel like it at times, it does not rain everyday in the UK. However it is advisable to bring waterproof clothing and be ready for rain at any time of the year. Britain is an island nation and the surrounding sea gives England a varied climate which can be sunny one day and rainy the next.

Compared to the rest of Europe we have warm summers and cool winters compared to the continent, sometimes refered to as a temperate maritime climate with temperatures not much lower than 0ºC in winter and not much higher than 32ºC in summer. Whether can be damp and rainy all year round, although most of the rain falls during the autumn, winter and spring.

July and August are normally the warmest month in England, with the coldest months being December to February.

May to October

Generally the best months to travel to the UK are May through to October when the climate is warmest and rainfall is at a minimum, usually July and August are the warmest months, but can also see some rainfall. Generally the sunniest area is the south coast of England.

With a superb range of great dive locations, Wales is a good place to plan a diving trip to, with marine national reserves, good wrecks and offshore dives there is plenty to do here.
As with the rest of the UK, the currents can be strong here, the visibility low and the water cold, diving in the UK can be demanding but ultimately rewarding.

4°C to 19°C (38°F to 65°F)  

Direct flights into London Heathrow are available on a daily basis from most locations. Flight from here are available to Cardiff Airport.
