Traveller notes on Stratford-upon-Avon in January
Other months in Stratford-upon-Avon
July in Stratford is high season and the forum is blunt that the town is always packed with visitors in summer. On weather they offer the English shrug — a couple of degrees warmer than northern England, but still England and therefore totally unpredictable — against a real July average near 21°C and rain on about twelve days. What July does reliably deliver is light: over sixteen hours of it, which is why regulars say a short visit works as a day trip in this month specifically, with time left over for a boat trip. The annual River Festival also lands in July.
