Climate in three Parts of the United Kingdom
Liverpool:
Liverpool has a temperate maritime climate, like most of the British Isles. The city has mostly cool summers, and mild winters. Since Liverpool is a city on the North West Coast of the UK, the daily ranges of temperatures are vanquished, ranging a mean of 15 degrees in May to just 7 degrees at Christmas. Mean annual temperatures over the region depend very much on altitude, and some way on proximity on the coast. Over the low lying areas near Liverpool, the average occurs at around 9 to 10 degrees. There is an increase of 0.5 degrees for every 100 metres of increase in altitude. In the North West of England, the highest temperatures occur in the Isle of Man, Merseyside (Liverpool) and Lancashire and the lowest in the Lake District and the Pennines. Temperatures have shown a daily variation seasonally. January is the coldest month of the year with Liverpool witnessing 2 degrees. This is because Liverpool has a low altitude and if Liverpool was on high ground it would witness below freezing temperatures like the Pennines and the Lake District. Minimum temperatures occur over sunrise in Liverpool. July is seen as the warmest month with daily temperatures as 21 degrees and highest temperatures occur two to three hours after mid-day. December is the dullest month and June is the sunniest month like the rest of the British Isles. In general the reason why sunshine duration decreases is because of increasing altitude, increasing latitude and distance from the coast. Industrial pollution had also messed around to reduce sunshine amounts, but since 1956, Liverpool has had an increase in sunshine duration. Liverpool has annual average sunshine durations of 1500 hours.
