What's The Weather Like In Cardiff?

Cardiff, Wales' capital city, lies in the southwest of the country on the Bristol Channel. Cardiff has a temperate maritime climate with all four seasons and no extremes of temperature. The weather can be very unpredictable at times but has proven to be one of the mildest cities in the United Kingdom.

Does It Snow In Cardiff?

There is rarely snow in the winter and rainfall is considerably lower than in the upland areas of Wales. The mild weather conditions are partly due to its sheltered position on the north side of the Bristol Channel, but mostly to exposure to Atlantic currents and winds.

Cardiff plays host to an 'urban heat' phenomenon which means that temperatures are sometimes 4°C - 5°C warmer than the surrounding rural areas.
