The Argyll and Bute region is known for having a mild climate which is conducive to visits from travelers all year long.  The area averages less than fifty inches of rain.  The month of least rain is usually February or March which each average just below four inches of rain.  The rains increase rather steadily, peaking in October which averages six inches of rain.  This is much less than the amount of rain which the entire area of Scotland is known for which makes it an excellent getaway from the wetter regions.  How much rain fall there is varies greatly depending on which city the traveler is in.  Some areas do get quite wet and may even average nearly twice the amount of rainfall as the area average.

Summertime is the time when most travelers head to the area. The average summer temperature is usually between sixty and seventy five degrees.  This makes it beautiful weather for enjoying the outdoors.  Because the area is so far north, there are less than four hours of darkness during the longest summer days, making it possible to enjoy the warm weather over an extended period of time.

The average winter temperature gets down to just below freezing (zero degrees Celsius or thirty two degrees Fahrenheit).
