When to visit Sandy

With a unique climate that diverges from popular tourist destinations, Sandy offers a different kind of British holiday experience. Warm summer months make August, July, and September the ideal time for a visit, with temperatures reaching a comfortable 30.5°C, ensuring the weather's just right to enjoy outdoor pursuits. Furthermore, a lower chance of rainfall during these peak summer months adds to their charm.
