Edinburgh enjoys a moderate year-round climate, with all the benefits of the sunny east coast of Scotland. The city can be warm and pleasant during the summer although being close to the Firth of Forth means there can also be a cool coastal breeze and occasional mists (known locally as 'haar'). From April to September, temperatures are mild and compare favourably with other European cities. Annual rainfall is the same as Frankfurt, New York and less than in Rome.

The country is on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and in accordance with daylight saving, clocks are put forward one hour from mid-March to end of October. During summer it stays light until as late as 11 pm.
