Geography of Glasgow

Spring (March to May) is fairly mild and is a popular time to visit Glasgow.The winds can be chilling and cold, though severe snow is infrequent and doesn't last too long.December, January and February are the wettest months of the year, though can be sunny if not warm.However, in the 1960s the population started to decline, partly due to relocation to the "new towns" in clearings of the poverty-stricken inner city areas like the Gorbals.Compared to Inner London (22,438 people per square mile), Scotland's major city has less than half the current population density of the English capital (8,528).
