Edinburgh’s conditions this week, as shown in the live forecast above, are classic sweater weather: cool, with occasional light showers and a brisk breeze off the Firth of Forth. Layers will be your friend whether you’re walking Princes Street or hiking Arthur’s Seat.
What makes today’s forecast “sweater weather”?
The live forecast above shows temperatures that sit comfortably in the single to low teens — the kind of chill that calls for a sweater rather than a heavy coat. A moderate wind off the coast keeps the air fresh, while patchy rain means a waterproof layer is also a good idea. For Edinburgh, this is textbook October: crisp enough for the song “Sweater Weather” to feel appropriate, but not so cold that you need a parka.
How does Edinburgh compare to other UK cities this week?
The same cool, unsettled pattern is affecting much of Scotland. Our Glasgow Weather page shows similar numbers, though Glasgow tends to be a degree or two milder. Further south, the UK weather hub indicates that cities like Birmingham and Liverpool are seeing slightly warmer afternoons. For a longer look ahead, check our 10 Day Weather Forecast UK page.
What is “sweater weather” exactly?
