How is the weather on Islay?
• The weather on Islay can be described as moderate, mainly because of the Gulf Stream. There aren’t any real extremes, i.e you won’t often experience scorching hot days during the summer or freezing cold days during the winter (the winter storms can be quite strong though). Islay receives its fair share of rain (hey, the distilleries need a lot of water), but also a lot of brilliant sunshine. As in most places in Scotland the weather can change very quickly, so be prepared when going for a walk.
