If you're planning anything outdoors in Nottingham, the city's inland midlands position makes it one of the drier UK cities — sheltered from Atlantic systems by the Welsh hills and the Pennines, with rainfall well below the national average. The trade-off is the temperature swing that comes with being properly inland: Nottingham hit 40°C in the 2022 heatwave and has dropped well below freezing in cold winters, so the same week can need very different planning.
