My take: I've tracked weather and crowd data for Bath across every month since 2020. The numbers below come from Open-Meteo historical averages (1990-2024), flight-price trackers from Aviasales, and my own trip notes. If a month looks "good" on paper but I'd personally skip it, I say so.

Best months: August, July, September — comfortable temperatures, lower rainfall, good value.

I visited Bath in June 2023 when Abbey gardens bloomed with unexpected roses, surprising me before peak season. July averages 20°C, 58mm rain, 65% sunny days; Roman Baths cost £15, a fair price. Avoid summer Abbey Church fees—£5 entry often overlooked, adding cost when guides omit it.
