What is the weather like in Greenock and when is the best time to visit?

The west of Scotland is often wet, so be prepared for rain any time of year. Visiting in the spring and summer months means that you can fit more activities into the long hours of daylight. Winters, while chilly, are fairly moderate but daylight hours are short. If planning to hike the West Highland Way or explore Loch Lomond, it’s a good idea to time your trip for spring or autumn to avoid the biggest crowds.
