What’s the typical weather pattern for Dundee?
Dundee sits on the north bank of the Firth of Tay and tends to be one of Scotland’s sunnier cities, thanks to the rain shadow created by the Highlands. You’ll find the driest months in late spring and early summer, while autumn and winter bring more frequent showers and stronger winds. Temperatures rarely drop far below freezing, but frosty mornings are common between December and February.

Look at the live forecast above for the most reliable answer. Showers can arrive quickly off the Tay, but they often pass within an hour. If you see a band of rain on the radar, you’ll usually be fine with a light waterproof jacket.
