Ben Nevis - Climate
Probably the most common question we are asked is "What will the weather be like?". Well, on the west coast of Scotland the weather is certainly a talking point and as I like to say "If you don't like the weather wait 10 minutes."

We have a maritime climate and a substantial amount of rain which gives us wonderful green glens, tumbling waterfalls and huge lochs. Ben Nevis can be walked in summer conditions between April and the end of September. You should still bear in mind that the temperature on the summit is on average 9 degrees colder than in Fort William and the weather can be atrocious at any time of year.

Between October and April Ben Nevis is no place for the novice, the summit is generally covered in a thick layer of snow, visibility can be very poor and the weather changes in minutes. Perfect conditions to join our Winter Ben Nevis Adventure.
