environment, enhanced by the sea air. Others enjoy the countryside and its
slower pace of life.

Climate
and Weather |
|
|
Pembrokeshire has a mild winter with only a handful of frosty nights and a
cool summer where the temperature rarely goes above 25°C. The sea breeze
keeps the temperature down but you will still get tanned!
During Autumn and Winter, Atlantic storms are a regular feature of the
weather which generate the waves which carve the coast line. This is
something to experience!
From April until August, days can be quite warm so that shorts and a
T-shirt will do along with sun lotion. People swim in the sea mainly from
late May until the end of August.

|
|
Rain can be expected at any time of the
year which keeps the countryside green, but usually the old adage "Rain
before 7 (am), Fine by 11 (am)" prevails! |
