Glasgow’s Early Summer: Sunshine, Smiles & Secret Gems

Ah, Glasgow in May and June—when the city swaps its raincoat for sunglasses and the West End comes alive with the buzz of early summer. If you’re a couple seeking a romantic getaway or a solo visitor chasing new adventures, now’s the perfect time to experience the Glasgow’s charm before the school holidays roll in.

Weather That’s Turning Heads (and Raising Glasses)

Believe it or not, Glasgow’s been basking in sunshine that rivals the Mediterranean. Recent forecasts have seen temperatures soaring up to 23°C, making it warmer than Alicante, Paris, and even Marrakesh. Locals are soaking up the rays in parks and beer gardens, and the city’s mood is as bright as the weather. Let’s be real it’s just temporary but we’ll take it

Festivals That’ll Make You Dance in the Streets

The West End is the heart of Glasgow’s cultural scene, and early summer is when it truly shines. Two standout festivals are:

Ashton Lane Street Party (31st May – 1st June): This cobbled lane transforms into a vibrant hub of live music, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere that’s quintessentially Glaswegian.

WestFest (1st – 29th June): A month-long celebration featuring outdoor ceilidhs, puppet shows, live music, and more. It’s a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the local culture and community spirit.
