Is wales the hottest country in the UK?

Answer 1

By no means! Welsh weather is usually wet and with a temporate climate- if it's not raining, it's usually damp, and can be misty in the mornings. Wales gets colder earlier in the Autumn than England, and is slower to warm up again in the Spring.

Welsh Winters are harsh by any standards- it gets very cold, most especially in the North, where temperatures can drop to as low as -15 degrees Centigrade and lower, and there is usually snow in the mountains (sometimes with very heavy drifts). Nobody should venture onto the Welsh mountains in Winter unless they have to- it's very dangerous.

The warmest parts of the UK are the Channel Islands, and the extreme South-West counties of England- namely Devon and Cornwall. Cornwall and the Scilly Isles especially enjoy mild weather all year round, as it is in the Gulf Stream that sweeps in from the mid-Atlantic.
