Rotherham is certainly not the Snowiest Place in the UK, the Snowiest Place anywhere in the UK is the Cairngorms in the Highlands. In the winter temperatures can be as cold as the Artic as it has 5 out of the 6 highest mountains in the UK. It can snow there in Summer (Like this June 6 days after having 31c, The Town of Aviemore actually had 2cm of lying snow there). The Cairngorms are also one of the Most remote areas in the UK and are known as the Artic of the UK. The Snowiest settlement in the UK is a difficult one but it has to be Braemar in the Cairngorms. It is one of the Highest Towns in the UK at over 1000ft (The Cairngorm Mountains are 4000ft) and it has a mean temperature of 6.5c. It also holds the record temperature in the UK at -27.6c. The Snowiest City in the UK is most likely to be Aberdeen.

What places on earth get snow and what places don't?

Places that are near the poles or at higher elevations typically get snow, while places near the equator do not usually experience snowfall. Areas like the Arctic and Antarctic regions, as well as mountainous regions located in temperate zones, are more likely to get snow. Conversely, tropical regions near the equator rarely see snow due to their warm climates.


Why does snow fall only in certain places?

Snow falls in certain places because it requires specific atmospheric conditions, such as cold temperatures and moisture in the air. These conditions are more commonly found in regions closer to the poles or at high elevations. Additionally, factors like proximity to large bodies of water or mountain ranges can influence where snow is more likely to occur.


Where does it not snow?

Places near the equator or at low elevations typically do not experience snowfall. Additionally, regions with warm temperatures year-round, such as tropical and desert climates, do not see snow.


Has There Ever Been A Year Without Snow at all?

It is possible for certain locations to experience a year without any snowfall, especially in regions with mild or tropical climates. However, it is not common for areas that typically receive snow to go an entire year without any snowfall.


What places do not get snow?
