The climate in Cambridge is on par with the rest of the United Kingdom, but because it is situated in the more sheltered region of Eastern England, Cambridge enjoys significantly less rainfall than the rest of the country. Winters tend to be quite cold and they're often wet but the area experiences less snowfall than the rest of England. Summers are dry and temperatures range between 65°F (18°C) and 73°F (23°C). The best time to visit Cambridge is any time between April and September when it is warm and often sunny; however, even though the city is drier than much of the rest of England, rain is still possible in any season.
