  • North West England & Isle of Man: Climate
    North West England & Isle of Man: climate This describes the main features of the climate of Cheshire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cumbria, part of North Yorkshire and the Isle of Man. The eastern boundary of the region lies along the watershed of the Pennines. There are several distinct geographical areas within the region. Much of the area west of the Pennines from Lancashire southwards forms part of a plain, mainly below 150 metres, with westward draining rivers such as the Mersey, Ribble and Lune. Liverpool and Manchester are the main centres of population. To the east, the Pennines are a chain of rolling gritstone moors rising to well over 600 metres and reaching their highest point at Cross Fell (893 metres). The Pennines form a natural barrier to east-west communications, but there are the Tyne gap linking Carlisle and Newcastle and the Aire gap linking Lancashire and Yorkshire. The Lake District in Cumbria includes Scafell Pike (978 metres), the highest mountain in England, and Windermere, the largest lake. To the north and NE, there is further low ground (below 60 metres) in the Vale of Eden and the Solway Plain, close to Carlisle. Most of the Isle of Man consists of a central mountain mass rising to 621 metres on Snaefell. Douglas is the main town and the centre of the island's tourist industry. The range of topography and altitude found in both NW England and the Isle of Man provide a climate of great variety, and the region includes both the coldest place in England (Cross Fell in the Pennines) and the wettest place in England (the Lakeland fells around Seathwaite in Cumbria).

    National Meteorological Library and Archive Fact sheet No. 9 - Weather extremes Temperature Temperature: the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object. The Celsius scale of temperature was adopted by the World Meteorological Organization as the standard unit of temperature measurement and was formally adopted by the Met Office on 1 January 1961. Note: throughout this fact sheet all values of temperature are given only in Celsius. Figure 1. Recording the temperature. United Kingdom • In terms of annual average temperature, the warmest place in the UK is the Isles of Scilly with a mean temperature of 11.5 °C • Braemar, Aberdeenshire is the coldest low-level place in the UK, in terms of annual average temperature, with a mean temperature of 6.5 °C • At Heathrow Airport there were 14 consecutive days between 23 June and 8 July 1976 when the temperature was above 31 °C • For the whole of the UK, 2006 was the warmest year on record with a mean temperature of 9.7 °C, 1.1 °C above the 30-year (1971 to 2000) long-term average. © Crown Copyright Met Office Fact sheet No. 9: Updated: September 2007 National Meteorological Library and Archive Weather extremes England Across England the mean annual temperature, at low altitudes, varies from about 8.5 °C to 11.0 °C, with the highest values occurring around or near to the coasts of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
