The climate of Cornwall (England)
Cornwall is a county in the south west of England and is characterized
by the lovely landscape and beautiful picture postcard coastal towns.
The most southern tip of England has a very long coastline. Cornwall’s
coast and landscape are very beautiful. There are a lot of attractions
for garden enthusiasts. One striking example is the Eden project.
Furthermore the landscape is dotted with lovely villages with white
cottages and old fishing villages. The Cornish Coastal Footpath covers
a distance of 260 miles and is ideal for gentle strolls and
challenging hikes. Because Cornwall is the most southern tip of
England its climate is relatively warmer and sunnier than in the rest
of England. Palm trees even grow here. Cornwall gets about 1,541 hours
of sunshine per year. A pleasantly warm breeze is caused by the warm
Gulf Stream. Just as in the rest of England rain falls all year round.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
