The climate of Windsor (England)
Windsor is located in the Royal County of Berkshire and is best known
for its castle. Windsor Castle is the official residence of the Royal
Family. The castle was built in the 11th century by William the
Conqueror and has been lived in for 900 years. During this period
several changes were made to adapt the castle to more modern times.
Windsor Great Park used to be a Royal hunting ground. Windsor Castle
has a large collection of drawings and paintings. Among them are works
from Leonardo da Vinci and Hans Holbein. The Royal Family often stays
here during the summer, so the public has limited access. The castle
can always be visited. However, which parts of the castle are open to
the public depends on which members of the Royal Family stay in the
castle at that time. Windsor has a sea climate. The city has about 124
rainy days; evenly spread out over the year, there is a slight peak in
autumn. During the summer temperatures are around 20 degrees Celsius.
July is the driest month. However, the absence of rain in July is
compensated in August. During the winter there are about 45 frosty
days on average. Temperatures usually are around 4.5 degrees Celsius.

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:
