Planning a run in Edinburgh

Edinburgh's coastal setting can bring haar, while exposed hills and coastal paths add wind exposure. Sheltered streets and an open hill route can feel quite different.

Check visibility and gusts before heading onto exposed ground. Keep a sheltered alternative and adjust layers for the route, not only the city temperature.

Climate background: Met Office eastern Scotland climate. These patterns are context, not today’s forecast.
