Climate a Truro

Cornwall has a temperate oceanic climate; the mildest and sunniest of the UK, due to its decidedly southern position and the influence of the Gulf Stream. The average annual temperature varies from about 11.6 ° C in the interior to about 9.8 ° C for the Isles of Scilly. Winters are also among the warmest in the country due to the effects of warm ocean currents, while frost and snow are very rare along the coast and even rarer in central areas. Summers however are not as hot as other areas in the south of the UK due to the ocean which makes the weather in Cornwall very variable.

Spoken languages

The local language, now reported in use, albeit marginally, by some enthusiasts, is related to Welsh and even more so with Breton.

Cornwall has a rich and lively tradition of popular music that has survived to the present day thanks mainly to folkloristic events and events such as the Mummers Plays, the Furry Dance a Helston and the Obby Oss a Padstow.

James (also known as Aphex Twin, raised in Cornwall), as well as Luke Vibert, Roger Taylor , and US singer Tori Amos resident not far from Bude.
