The climate of Newport (Wales)
Newport is located in the south eastern part of Wales on the banks of
the river Usk. Newport is very close to the capital Cardiff. Ever
since the Bronze Age people have lived here; this is why Newport has a
very rich history. Tourists mostly come here to enjoy the peace and
quiet and the beautiful beaches. Newport has a moderate sea climate
with different weather every day. Newport is one of the warmer and
sunnier places in the United Kingdom. Extremes in weather are uncommon
because of its leeward situation. Just like many other areas in the
British Isles Newport’s weather benefits from the warming effect of
the Gulf Stream. Newport has relatively warm summers and cold winters.
Thunderstorms occur all year round. However, most thunderstorms occur
during spring and summer. The wettest seasons are the summer and
autumn. Almost every winter there are some snowy days. However, heavy
snowfall is uncommon and most of the snow melts immediately or after a
few days. The coldest temperature on record is minus 16.1 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:
