Traveller notes on Cambridge in July
Notes from nearby London (79 km away)
Cambridge doesn't have its own notes for July yet — these are about London, close enough to share the season.
I was in London in July and found many trains had spare capcity on the underground system. Be careful of drawing conclusions in European cities in August when many locals disappear off on vacation.
Other months in Cambridge
Cambridge's forum calls August generally as good as English weather gets, though a bad year can turn genuinely wet. Regulars describe a mix of hot clear days and cool, cloudy ones with sudden rain, and specifically flag an easterly wind as capable of feeling bitterly cold even in high summer — summery clothes plus a rain layer covers it.
