The best time to visit Watten is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its mildest and the days are long.The summer offers the most comfortable conditions for exploring the Caithness countryside and enjoying outdoor activities. Day temperatures typically range from 15°C to 18°C, and with up to 18 hours of daylight, there's ample time for sightseeing. This period is great for those looking to experience the local wildlife and natural beauty, such as birdwatching at nearby nature reserves or walking along the coastal paths.For travellers interested in fishing, particularly for trout in the local lochs like Loch Watten, the season generally runs from April to September. While April and May can be cooler, they often provide excellent fishing opportunities without the peak summer crowds.
