Climate chart - Middlesbrough
The climate of Middlesbrough is oceanic, with quite cold, rainy winters and mild, relatively rainy summers.
The city is located on the north-east coast of England, near the estuary of the River Tees, in North Yorkshire. The city center is located about 10 km (6 mi) from the sea. Together with the towns of Stockton-on-Tees, Hartlepool, Redcar and Billingham, it forms the conurbation called Teesside.
Precipitation, at least as regards to the quantity, is at the lowest levels in Great Britain because the Pennines to the west, which in this sector reach the greatest heights (893 meters or 2,929 feet in Cross Fell), partially block the wet currents from the Irish Sea.
Winter is not very cold, but the sky is often cloudy, the humidity is high and there are periods when the wind blows moderate or strong. The rains are frequent.
When cold currents blow from the northeast, it can even snow.
On the coldest nights of the year, the temperature generally drops to around -5 °C (23 °F), but can sometimes drop to lower values. At Teesside International Airport, located south-west of Middlesbrough and therefore at a greater distance from the sea (23 km or 14 mi), the temperature dropped to -14 °C (7 °F) in December 2010.
In summer, temperatures are generally mild or cool. It can also rain, and there is not much difference from winter either.
Due to its position enough to the north and on the east coast, summer is cool, so much so that the highs in July and August only reach around 20/20.5 °C (68/69 °F), and 19 °C (66 °C) on the coast, where Hartlepool and Redcar are located. Even the brief heatwaves that can sometimes affect central and southern England, generally do not arrive here. On the warmest days of the year, the temperature typically reaches 28/29 °C (82/84 °F). Anyway, at the airport, the highest record is 37 °C (98.5 °F), set in July 2022, but previously the temperature had only reached 33 °C (91.5 °F) in August 1990 and in July 2019.
