The climate of Swansea (Wales)
Swansea is located in the southern part of Wales on the river Tawe.
Swansea is situated in the Swansea district. Swansea is a coastal
place on the Channel of Bristol. Because of their quiet location on
the Channel of Bristol the beaches here are very popular among
tourists. According to several British travel magazines Swansea has
the most beautiful beaches in the entire United Kingdom. The seaside
resort of Mumbles has an original Victorian pier and lies in the
vicinity of Swansea. Swansea has a moderate sea climate with mild
winters and relatively cold summers. Temperatures are milder here all
year round than in the higher regions in the interior because of its
situation on the coast. However, it is because of these higher regions
that Swansea is the wettest city in the United Kingdom. During the
summer temperatures sporadically reach the high twenties. The highest
temperature on record is 31.6 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:
