The climate of Exeter (England)
Exeter is a city located in the south western part of England. The
city was largely destroyed by the Luftwaffe during WWII. Little effort
was made to preserve old buildings when the city was rebuilt. Only a
few old buildings can still be found in the center. Exeter’s most
important attractions are Exeter Cathedral, Rougemont Castle and St.
Nicolas Priory. The cathedral was built in 1050 to convert more people
to Christianity in the south west of England. Rougemont castle itself
is not open to public. However, the surrounding gardens and the park
can be visited; a very pleasant place during summer days. St Nicolas
Priory used to be a Benedictine monastery. It is currently furnished
as an Elizabethan town house, home of the wealthy Hurst family, in
1602. It has replica furniture and it is painted in the bright colours
used in the Elizabethan period. It gives an insight into Tudor life
from Exeter's collection of artefacts. Next to this former monastery
the Royal Albert museum can be found.

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:
