Climate Chart of Birmingham, Great Britain

Monthly data: Temperature °C, Rain (mm), Sunshine (h) · 2013–2023

Climate overview

Temperature

January has the lowest monthly mean temperature, at 4.1 °C; this describes the month's average rather than its daytime highs or the conditions on a particular day. At the other end of the annual pattern, July records the highest monthly mean, 16.9 °C. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of monthly means is 9.9 °C, a broad summary rather than a day-weighted annual average.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall reaches its highest monthly mean in October, at 2.62 mm/day. This is a daily average, not a monthly accumulation, and it cannot show how rainfall is distributed among individual days. The lowest monthly mean is in April, at 1.39 mm/day; lower average rainfall does not guarantee dry days. The unweighted mean across the monthly daily-rainfall means is 2.08 mm/day.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall has its highest monthly mean in March, at 1.82 mm/day. This recorded amount does not establish the number of snowy days, snow depth or snow cover. The unweighted mean of the monthly daily-snowfall means is 0.50 mm/day.

Sunshine

July has the highest mean daily sunshine duration, 10.49 hours/day, which may help visitors prioritising average sunshine when planning outdoor time. Sunshine duration is not the same as day length. The lowest mean daily sunshine duration occurs in December, at 2.91 hours/day. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of monthly sunshine means is 6.88 hours/day; these averages do not predict the sunshine on a particular day.

Best Travel Time Guide for Birmingham, Great Britain: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

For visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages, January is the relevant reference point: its monthly mean temperature is the year's lowest, at 4.1 °C. Pack for variable day-to-day conditions, since a monthly mean does not specify daytime highs or the weather on your travel dates. If lower average rainfall is your priority, April is a conditional option, with the lowest monthly mean daily rainfall of 1.39 mm/day; this does not guarantee dry days or indicate how often rain occurs. For rain preparation, note that the highest monthly mean daily rainfall is in October, at 2.62 mm/day.

For outdoor plans guided by average sunshine, July has the highest mean daily duration, 10.49 hours/day, while December has the lowest, at 2.91 hours/day. These figures describe sunshine duration, not day length or guaranteed conditions, so flexible plans and suitable layers remain useful. Snowfall is recorded at its highest monthly mean in March, at 1.82 mm/day per day on average. That figure alone cannot tell you how many snowy days to expect or whether snow will lie on the ground, so it is not a guide to snow cover or skiing conditions.
