The Channel Islands are best visited in the warmer months of late spring through early autumn (May to September), when the weather is mild and ideal for outdoor activities. Summer temperatures typically range between 18°C to 22°C, perfect for exploring beaches, coastal paths, and charming towns. During this period, the islands come alive with festivals, open-air markets, and long, sunny days that allow visitors to enjoy Jersey’s and Guernsey’s beaches, gardens, and historical sites.
For those who prefer fewer crowds, late spring (May and June) and early autumn (September) are excellent times to visit, offering comfortable weather and the opportunity to explore without the summer rush. Spring brings wildflowers along the coastal cliffs, while autumn features warm hues in the countryside. Winter on the islands is quieter, with cooler temperatures, but it offers a cozy atmosphere, especially in St. Helier and St. Peter Port, where holiday lights and festive markets add seasonal charm.
