The climate of Devon (England)
Devon is a county in the south west of England bordering Cornwall. These two beautiful regions are often mentioned in one breath. Devon has a rugged coast where many old fossils are found and archaeological finds are made. This is why the coast is also known as The Jurassic Coast. Devon mainly consists of rural areas. There are only a few large cities such as Exeter and Plymouth. The rest of the countryside is thinly populated. People live in small coastal towns such as Torquay. The Natural Reserve of Dartmoor is also situated in Devon. This rugged area was the scenery for the Sherlock Holmes adventure “The Hound of the Baskervilles”. Dartmoor is characterized by its large expanse of rugged moorland with much wild cattle; a lovely area for walking and cycling. Devon has a sea climate. In open areas it may be very foggy. Devon has a milder climate than in other places in England. On the Hoe in Plymouth palm trees grow. Although temperatures remain mild till late autumn it does rain a lot. In general rain falls in the form of drizzle; heavy rain is uncommon here. A rainy day in Devon’s interior may change into a lovely and sunny afternoon on the coast.

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:
