When
to Visit Cambridge
|
| |
The
UK has
a mild and wet maritime climate thanks to its location in the North
Atlantic Ocean. Cambridge, however,
is located in one of the drier
regions of the country, and in fact, in Europe. There is no rainy
season in Cambridge. Instead there is about the same chance of rain
on any day of the year. Cambridge tends to be colder in winter and
warmer in summer than other UK cities. |
