Winter in the UK

Cotswolds Winter Morning

Most people would say that winter in England and Wales falls between December, January, and February, often stretching into both November and March depending on the year. These months feature the coldest and shortest days of the year. Although temperatures drop, the weather is generally pretty mild. It also varies based on exactly where you are in the UK. Southern coastal Cornwall experiences a very different winter from that of the craggy peaks of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, the upland hills of the Pennines, or the varied shores of Pembrokeshire.
