Local Climate Facts

  • The “Waddington Wind”: Due to its location on the cliff, Waddington often feels the breeze more than the city of Lincoln below. If the widget shows a moderate wind speed, expect it to feel a few degrees cooler than the thermometer suggests.

  • Rainfall: Precipitation is distributed fairly evenly throughout the year. There isn’t a true “dry season,” so keeping a waterproof jacket handy is a local necessity, regardless of what the sky looks like in the morning.

  • Sunshine: July is typically the sunniest month, offering about 15 to 16 hours of daylight, perfect for outdoor activities and exploring the Lincolnshire Wolds.
