The climate of Kendal (England)
Kendal is a small town in the Lake District on the banks of the river
Kent. The city is nicknamed Auld Grey Town because the houses are
built with typical grey stones which are mined in the vicinity. The
city has charming small streets paved with cobble stones. The city
still breathes a lot of its old charm. The church was built in the
13th century when Kendal was a center for the wool industry. In Abbot
Hall, which is a beautiful old manorial estate a museum can be found
that shows several beautiful paintings and has an exhibition on the
district. Opposite this museum the museum for natural history and
archaeology can be found. A visit to both museums can be recommended
if you would like to learn more about Kendal and its beautiful
surroundings. Kendal has a sea climate which is strongly influenced by
the Gulf Stream from the North Sea. This Gulf Stream is responsible
for the supply of warm air which moderates temperatures during the
winter. During the summer temperatures are around 20 degrees Celsius
on average. Temperatures never get too warm because of a constant
blowing sea breeze. Kendal and the Lake District are among the wettest
areas in England. About 2,000 millimeters of annual rain can be
recorded here. Rainfall is evenly spread out over the year with a
small peak during autumn. During heavy rainfall Kendal has a risk of
flooding.

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:
