What will the weather be like at that time of year in England?
Many of our overseas visitors ask us this question and it is certainly a tricky one. We always recommend a raincoat, umbrella and warm jacket, but on the other hand we often have brilliant sunshine and temperatures soaring into the 80s. We suggest you are prepared and sorry not to be able to be more helpful!
