===Climate===
Middlesbrough has an [[oceanic climate]] typical for the United Kingdom.
Being sheltered from prevailing south-westerly winds by the [[Lake District]] and [[Pennines]] to the west, and the [[Cleveland Hills]] to the south, Middlesbrough is in one of the relatively dry parts of the country, receiving on average {{convert|574|mm|in|abbr=off}} of rain a year. Temperatures range from mild summer highs in July and August typically around {{convert|21|°C|°F|abbr=on}}, to winter lows in December and January falling to around {{convert|0|°C|°F|abbr=on}}.

Seasonal variations are small and both the mild summers and cool winters are far removed from the average climates of the latitude (54.5°N). This is mainly due to the [[British Isles]] being a relatively small land mass surrounded by water, the mild south-westerly [[Gulf Stream]] air that dominates the British Isles, and the propensity for cloud cover to limit temperature extremes. In nearby [[Scandinavia]], more than ten degrees further north, there are coastal [[Bothnian Bay#Climate|Bothnian]] climates with warmer summers than Middlesbrough; and winters in Middlesbrough can be less cold than those at lower latitudes in mainland Europe.
