Scotland Weather Forecast - Scottish Weather, Temperature & Climate. Regional variations For such a relatively small country, one of the most surprising things about the Scottish climate is just how much it varies from one region to another.
For example, because it is so mountainous and the prevailing winds come in from the Atlantic, the western Highlands are some of the wettest and windiest places in Europe. By contrast, the eastern part of the country from the 'Highland capital' of Inverness across to Aberdeenshire and down to Angus, Fife and the Lothians enjoy an annual rainfall that is actually similar to or less than New York, Barcelona, Rome or even Rabat in Morocco. Scotland's high latitude means that although winter days are short, during the summer months, the days are very long, often with an extended twilight.
