Show transcript
Milder winters and cooler summers than would normally be expected at this latitude (54-55 degrees north).
The climate is influenced by the sea, particularly the Gulf stream, with relief rainfall from prevailing westerlies.
The climate and landscape suits hill farming with hardy sheep but it is hard to grow crops there.
The temperature drops as altitude increases, meaning that the tops of the mountains are colder than the valleys.
