What is the weather like in the Hebrides?
The North Atlantic Drift keeps the water temperatures around our islands relatively high. This year-round current which originates in the Caribbean gives us relatively mild temperatures which means it very rarely goes below freezing in the winter and that we dont experience the uncomfortable heat of some inland locations in the summer. Cool sea breezes and clear blue skies characterise our summers and although the winters are mild you can occasionally experience some of the wildest and stormiest gales around.
