Editing Princetown (section)

== Climate ==

Princetown, like the rest of Dartmoor, experiences colder and wetter weather than most of Devon, especially because of its high altitude. Snow is uncommon but is usually heavy when it does fall.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.dartmoor.gov.uk/learningabout/lab-printableresources/lab-factsheetshome/lab-climateweather |title=Climate and Weather Factsheet |access-date=20 January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160527032123/http://www.dartmoor.gov.uk/learningabout/lab-printableresources/lab-factsheetshome/lab-climateweather |archive-date=27 May 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> According to the [[Köppen climate classification]] the climate would be classified as [[Oceanic climate|Cfb]] bordering on [[Subpolar oceanic climate|Cfc]].
