Is Annan usually wetter than other parts of Scotland?
Annan is in the rain shadow of the Southern Uplands, so it is generally drier than the west Highlands but wetter than the east coast. Annual rainfall averages around 1,000mm, with autumn and winter being the wettest seasons.
Does Annan get snow often?
Snowfall in Annan is less frequent and less heavy than in inland Dumfries and Galloway due to its coastal position. When snow does fall, it usually settles for only a day or two before milder air from the Solway Firth melts it.
How does the Solway Firth affect Annan’s weather?
The Solway Firth moderates temperatures, keeping Annan cooler in summer and milder in winter than inland areas. It also contributes to local sea fog and a persistent breeze, particularly in spring and early summer.
