School run weather in Cardiff

If you're planning anything outdoors in Cardiff, the city's south Wales coastal position gives it a milder climate than most of England's north — winters are gentle thanks to the Bristol Channel and the Gulf Stream, snow is rare, and summers are reliable. The trade-off is rainfall: Cardiff catches Atlantic systems coming up the Bristol Channel, and the Welsh hills to the north and west mean weather can be very different a few miles inland from what the city itself shows.
