Penzance as a seaside resort has an almost unique climate. It is the most southern large seaside town of Britain. The region in which it is located Penwith, is a peninsular almost completely surrounded by the sea. This fact in conjunction with the Gulf Stream, reduces the range of temperate changes.

 

Penzance Average Monthly Temperatures

This more equable temperature enables sub tropical plants to thrive and makes it inviting to visit even outside the usual holiday season, when temperatures in other areas of the UK are not so welcoming.
