How does Clifton’s location affect its weather?
Clifton sits on a hillside overlooking the Avon Gorge, about a mile from the Severn Estuary. This elevated position means it often catches the south-westerly winds that bring maritime air, moderating both summer heat and winter frost. The gorge can also trap mist, so morning fog is more common here than in central Bristol.
