Precipitation is frequent but not abundant because we are to the east of the Pennines, the low mountains that run through England from north to south like a backbone and partially block the wet currents from the Irish Sea.

Winter is not very cold, but the sky is often cloudy, the humidity is high and there are periods when the wind blows moderate or strong. The rains are frequent.
On the coldest nights of the year, the temperature generally drops to around -6/-7 °C (19/21 °F), but can sometimes drop to lower values.

In summer, temperatures are generally mild or cool. It can also rain, and there is not much difference from winter either.
