The climate of Bath (England)
Bath is a city in the south west of England on the Avon River. Bath is
a very old health resort. During Roman times people already came here
to drink and bath in the thermal water. Especially during the 18th
century Bath became very popular. The Roman baths, the Pump Room and
the many ballrooms can still be visited. One of the most beautiful
bridges in the world can be admired in the center of Bath. Pulteney
Bridge is a bridge with several shops on it and is one of the oldest
bridges in Europe. One of the most famous residents of Bath was Jane
Austin. This author spent many hours writing here. Bath is also the
scenery for several of her novels. In Bath she is commemorated with
the Jane Austin Centre. The Royal Crescent, which is a long row of
houses built in the shape of a crescent, has often been the filmset
for a film version of one of her books.
Bath has a sea climate; the weather is very unstable. Especially
during the summer a cloudy and cold morning can change into a warm and
sunny afternoon. Summers are pleasant and warm in general. However,
spring is the best time to visit Bath. Winters in Bath are cold and
wet. Because Bath is situated between the hills cloudy skies last
longer.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
