The Isle of Wight is an island off the coast of Southampton. This
island is ideal for a short holiday. The beautiful hilly landscape is
ideal for long walks. The pleasant climate attracts a lot of tourists.
Osborne House can be found on the island. This house was Queen
Victoria’s family home, completely built in Italian Renaissance style.
Queen Victoria came to the island to enjoy the mild climate and the
lovely surroundings. Osborne House is a beautiful stately home; it
gives you a good idea of how the well-to-do lived during the time of

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:
