Late morning to early afternoon is usually the calmest part of the day, as sea breezes tend to strengthen after 2pm. Check the wind speed in the live forecast above before setting out.
Does Gourock get snow in winter?
Snowfall is uncommon on the immediate coast due to the warming effect of the Firth of Clyde. When it does occur, it tends to be a light dusting that melts quickly, with heavier snow staying over the higher hills inland.
How does the Gourock forecast compare to Greenock or Dunoon?
Gourock is exposed to the open firth, so it often feels a degree or two cooler and windier than Greenock, which is more sheltered. Dunoon, across the water, can experience similar conditions but with slightly lower cloud bases.
