Guernsey has a delightfully warm summer climate and enjoys mild, if rainy, winters. On the long summer days, between May and September, you can bask in an average of 8 hours of sunshine a day but, if you are planning a walk or a visit to the beach, take a cover-up as those sea breezes can be chilly.

Take relatively warm clothing for the cool winter months and, in the summer, supplement beach wear and light clothing with a warm wrap, just in case. Be prepared for rain at any time of year.
