In December, on the other hand, there are only six hours and 40 minutes of daylight. Days are long in the summer, reaching nearly 18 hours of daylight in mid-summer. During the summer months, in July, the temperature ranges from 42 to 53 degrees. The snowiest season lasts from the end of December through February, but snow remains in the highest peaks until well into the spring. Winter temperatures here range from 30 F to 38 F with a much colder wind chill factor in the high mountains. While other regions, notably Ben Nevis and Glen Coe in the Highlands, have ski areas, they are more likely to rely on snowmaking equipment than the ski areas of the Cairngorms. It is also the center for Scotland's winter sports with its most popular and most reliable ski areas.

Balmoral, the Queen's private vacation home, is located here, and the house and grounds are visitor attractions when the royal family is not in residence. The enormous Cairngorm National Park, in central Scotland, is the country's most significant wilderness region and its coldest.

In mid-winter, there are seven hours of daylight, while in mid-summer, the day lasts more than 17 and a half hours. The hours of daylight change dramatically with the seasons. Average winter temperatures range from 34 to 45 degrees F, and average summer temperatures at the end of July/beginning of August range from 52 to 66 degrees F. Enjoy something new at every turn as you traverse the highest public roads in Britain and spot a curious glimpse of snow on the hill tops almost all year. In Edinburgh, on the dryer east coast, the rainiest months are November through January, with the daily probability of precipitation a bit less than 40 percent. In Glasgow, one of the U.K.'s rainiest cities, average monthly rainfall during the wettest months-between September and January-is about 21 inches, and the daily chance of rain hovers around 50 percent. The most significant difference is an east/west divide, with Glasgow and the west of this area having about twice as much rain as Edinburgh and the east. The windchill factor in the very hilly cities of the Lowlands makes winters seem much more bitterly cold than the mercury would suggest.
