Glasgow’s weather is unpredictable. For an ideal trip in a motorhome in Glasgow, explore the city during the months between March and August when the city is at its warmest. The winter months (November to March) are cool and overcast. If you plan to head out in your campervan hire to see the city covered in snow, be sure to pack accordingly and drive with more caution.
