What weather patterns affect Innerleithen?
Innerleithen sits in the Tweed Valley, sheltered by the Moorfoot and Pentland hills, so it can be noticeably milder than exposed upland areas. However, the valley also funnels rain-bearing south-westerly winds, meaning prolonged wet spells are common in autumn and winter. Summer highs typically reach 17–20°C, while winter lows can drop to around 0°C, often with frost in the surrounding glens.
