The climate of Newquay (England)
Newquay is located in the County of Cornwall on the most eastern tip
of England. Newquay is a sea side resort. Ever since Victorian times
people come here to enjoy the beaches and the sea. During the summer
surf festivals are held here. Thousands of old Volkswagens come to the
city for the annual Run to the Sun festival. Because of its situation
on the east coast of Cornwall Newquay’s climate is very much
influenced by the warm Gulf Stream in the Atlantic Ocean. In
comparison to other places in England temperatures are almost tropical
here. Spring starts earlier and winters are warmer. Because of its
location on the coast the weather may change very rapidly. The weather
alternates between rainy, sunny and cloudy. These types of weather can
all occur several times per day

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:
