The climate of the Cambrian Mountains (Wales)
The
Cambrian Mountains are a series of mountain ranges stretching from the
Brecon Beacons in the south to Snowdonia in the north. You might say
it is the name of the higher regions in Wales. There is a footpath
from Cardiff in the south all the way to Conwy in the north. The total
length of this footpath is 443 kilometers. In the middle of this area
there is a low-lying area where hardly anything grows and where there
are no roads and towns, this part is also known as the Desert of
Wales. The Cambrian Mountains have a moderate sea climate. Summers are
pleasant and winters are mild. However, it is very hard to specify the
climate type for an area this large. In general you can say it has a
sea climate. The lowlands are slightly warmer than the higher regions.
The valleys get more rain than other places.

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:
