Running weather in Glasgow

If you're planning anything outdoors in Glasgow, the city sits in the wet half of Scotland — Atlantic systems hit the west coast first and Glasgow gets significantly more rainfall than Edinburgh just 50 miles east. The trade-off is that winters are milder than the eastern side thanks to Gulf Stream influence, snow is less persistent than in Edinburgh, and the cloud cover that drives the rain also mutes the temperature swings.
