Cardiff’s temperatures range from freezing to moderately warm throughout the year, with low to high volumes of rain as well. While the summer season (June – August) gives you the best weather, it’s also peak tourist season, when accommodation becomes scarce and you’ll have to contend with crowds of tourists. Winter (December – February), meanwhile, is definitely low season, and most of the tourist attractions close around this period. The best time to go is during the spring (March – May). You’ll be able to enjoy cool temperatures, low rainfall (especially during April and May), more availability and better hotel rates. With much thinner crowds, you’ll be able to enjoy your time in Cardiff at your own pace. Be sure, though, to pack more winter wear.
