Best Time to Visit

Cardiff's climate is mild, and while extreme temperatures are rare, the weather remains unpredictable. Visitors should come prepared with waterproof coats and shoes. The best time to visit is from April to September, which offers warm temperatures and moderate rainfall, ideal for enjoying the city and its major summer events like the Cardiff International Food & Drink Festival. Expect high visitor numbers until mid-September. Autumn tends to be rainy, with occasional snow in late November and December, and winters are cold and slow for tourism.
