Weather in Cambridge

Cambridge is nearly on the Greenwich meridian, it means that the city has a temperate maritime climate, because of its distance from the equator and its closeness to the Atlantic Ocean. It is wise to remember Cambridge’s weather is so fickle, plan a picnic in the park in a bright and sunny morning and it could be raining by noon. So always be prepare, you never know what may happen.

Cambridge is one of the driest places in UK. However, it is in the middle of fertile farmland, and still has the occasional flood.

Cambridge weather changes from cold and damp in winter, to bright and warm in summer. Something similar you can expect to find throughout the year.

Spring (March-May)
Absolutely unpredictable with a good mix of sun, rain and clouds. Temperatures average between 11ºC and 15ºC. You must take a jacket when you go out.
Summer (June-August)
Generally sunny, but rainstorms are presents occasionally. Temperatures average around 20ºC, but it could increase to 37.9ºC.
Autumn (September-November)
At the same to spring, autumn is unpredictable. You must be prepared.
Winter (December-February)
Temperatures hover around 6ºC and it’s normally mild but damp. It rarely freezes or snows in Cambridge, but you would be wise taking a hat and gloves when going out.

Rainfall is more erratic than temperature, but the centre of continents seem to be drier than the edges. Cambridge is an exception to this. Its total rainfall is closer to Germany than Ireland or Netherlands, its neighbours.
When you look at the wettest and driest months, this becomes more noticeable. Cambridge has a more even spread of rainfall throughout the year, so although there are several places with less rain in their driest month, only one has less rainfall in its wettest month.
