Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

Much like the rest of the United Kingdom, Exeter does often get bouts of rainfall, but these are normally not too disruptive to tourists' visits. The best time to plan your trip for is the summer, June through August, when the weather is at its warmest and most pleasant. On the contrary, the months of December through February are known to be some of the rainiest.
