Isle of Mull Winter Weather Arrives

Many guests ask us what they can expect from Isle of Mull winter weather. Choosing to visit the island out of season, when the roads rapidly empty and you’ll often find you have footpaths and beaches to yourself, has many appeals – with great value rates, short breaks and landscapes and wildlife that are breath-taking year-round.

But what could the Isle of Mull winter weather have in store for you? Moderated by the Gulf stream, our climate here in the Hebrides tends to be milder than that of the mainland, so you’re unlikely to be met with feet deep of snow very often!

The weather in the winter is often a mixed bag that changes by the hour, not the day. So you can expect awe-inspiring downpours, winds that certainly blow the cobwebs away and, with a bit of luck, some dramatic bright light in between too.

Arguably the most magical winter weather to arrive on Mull is snow. Cold, crisp spells with thick hoar frosts and snowfall transform the island anew, with a pristine white cloak, clear blue skies and stunning icicle formations to look out for too.

We were treated to just such a spell as January arrived on Mull this year, with several cold weeks of frozen sunshine, followed by a week of wonderful white snow. So let us take you on a whistle-stop tour around the north west of the island to show you the more beautiful side of Isle of Mull winter weather first-hand.
