Cardiff climate

Like the rest of the United Kingdom, Cardiff is no stranger to seasonal climate and inclement, unpredictable weather. To stay on the safe side, expect the unexpected when you book flights to Cardiff. Winters are wet, and temperatures crawl down to the 30s, so pack warm clothing and always an umbrella – no matter what time of year. Summers (June to August) on the other hand, are known to bring sunny days (between the rainy ones) and temperatures high in the 70s. Rain and wind roll in during springtime (March to May), but the mild, May weather and pretty, delicate flowers make up for the occasional shower.

Best Time to Fly to Cardiff

Springtime (March to May) is the perfect time of year to plan flights to Cardiff – the weather is beautiful, conditions are mostly dry, and you don’t have to deal with either summer or winter extremes.

Peak Season:

Although it’s a bit rainy all year round, booking flights to Cardiff in the summer (June to August) is your best bet for staying dry. The months of June, July, and August are known to be the driest part of the year, and sunny days offer warm, comfortable temperatures, and cool, mild evenings.

Off-peak Season:

If you’re not a sun worshipper, then you’ll have no problem coming here in the off season. Booking flights to Cardiff in the winter (December to February) will undoubtedly afford you with rainy days and cold temperatures, but one thing is certain – the beauty and culture of this city never dies down, even when the good weather does.

Getting around Cardiff

After your Cardiff flight lands, hop aboard one of the shuttles at the airport. These shuttles can get you to most of Cardiff’s central accommodations. But don’t panic if you miss your ride, you can always hail a taxi from the arrivals gate. Once you’re downtown, it’s easy to get around through the Cardiff Bus Company. Its buses run cover the whole city all day long and into the night. Buy your tickets when you board, but be aware that you won’t get any change back. And don’t worry about getting lost. The city has free transport maps found all over the place. You could rent a car, but it really isn’t worth it. Parking is difficult to find, and even if you find a spot in one of the two main parking garages (located at Castle News and Sophia Gardens), you’ll have to take time out of your sightseeing to come back and feed the meter. If you really value your independence, rent a bike instead.

Cardiff Travel Information

Cardiff Bay: A beautiful center of natural elegance and interesting developments is Cardiff Bay, established in 1987. A commercial center, permeated with exquisite shopping, grand hotels, distinctive restaurants, and uppity government buildings, this bay area hub is a place for all to come and mingle. If you’re planning on booking Cardiff flights in the summer, you’ll be fortunate enough to observe the fun and exhilarating yacht races, where everyone gathers to cheer on their favorite drivers. Sundays in the warm seasons also bring various street performers and entertaining shows to the waterfront for people of all ages.

Bute Park Animal Wall: If you ask any child in Cardiff about the Bute Park Animal Wall, they’ll tell you that the animal statues on top of it come to life at night. Thanks to a newspaper comic strip in the 1930s, legend has it that that’s exactly what happens here. On the southern edge of Bute Park, just west of Cardiff Castle along Castle Street, a long wall, ornate with happy figures of lions, seals, bears, and more wild creatures runs along the road. Built by William Burges, the same architect who constructed the nearby castle, the wall has brought happy stories to the minds of children for the past century. Book flights to Cardiff to see the wall in all its glory, and see for yourself what happens at night.

National Museum of Wales: Don’t be confused, the classic white building with the columns at the front entrance is no nod to the United States special government residence – it’s the National Museum of Wales. Inside, eclectic artwork and scientific exhibits line the walls and fill rooms with interesting parts of Wales history and present state. Wander from room to room as you learn about industry, archaeology, geology, and see the beautiful and exquisite handiwork in the silver china and delicate glass made in the 1200s. Modern and classic sculptures are shown together, marking past and present, and intense paintings by Rembrandt and Kokoschka let you know that this collection is one of great depth. Most visitors that book flights to Cardiff seeking artistic experiences head straight to the French Impressionist section, the most popular part of the gallery.

St. Dwynwen’s Day: If you’re booking flights to Cardiff in January, then you’ll be able to experience the fun and intrigue of St. Dwynwen’s Day, a festival celebrating the freedom of love. As the story goes, Dwynwen was said to be the prettiest of 24 daughters in an aristocratic family. Instead of following her father’s wishes to enter an arranged marriage, Dwynwen falls in love with a handsome prince, but is forbidden to see him. Heartbroken, she is visited by an evil angel who turns the prince to ice. Fortunately, God grants her three wishes: One, that he be thawed; Two, that true love should be accessible to all; And three, that she should never marry. God grants her wishes, and in gratitude, she devotes the rest of her life to Him. Now, every January, the residents of Cardiff gather to celebrate the freedom and choice of love.
