Editing Colwyn Bay (section)

== Climate ==
Like the rest of the [[British Isles]], Colwyn Bay experiences a [[maritime climate]] with cool summers and mild winters, and often high winds. The local climate is well known for the prevalence of [[Foehn wind]]s: winds from the south which pass over the nearby mountains and warm and dry on their descent, leading to far higher temperatures than might otherwise be expected; the area held the Welsh high temperature record for February at 18.7&nbsp;°C from 23 February 2012 to 24 February 2019.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Office |first=Met |title=UK climate |url=https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/climate-extremes/#?tab=climateExtremes |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180103004237/https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/climate-extremes/#?tab=climateExtremes |archive-date=3 January 2018 |website=Metoffice.gov.uk |df=dmy-all}}</ref>
