About Cornwall
Cornwall (Cornish: Kernow) is a Duchy bordering the extreme south-west of England on the peninsula that lies to the west of the River Tamar. There has been a revival of the Cornish language and as one of the six Celtic nations there has been some debate over the constitutional status of Cornwall. The administrative centre and only city is Truro.

Weather In Cornwall
Cornwall is the southernmost part of Britain, and therefore has a relatively warm and sunny climate. Winters are mild, and frost or snow are uncommon apart from in the central upland areas. The average annual temperature for most of the county is 10.2 to 12 degrees Celsius (50 to 54 °F), with slightly lower temperatures at higher altitude.

The county is exposed to mild, moist westerly winds from the Atlantic Ocean and has relatively high rainfall, though less than more northern areas of the west coast of Britain, at 1051 to 1290 mm (41.4 to 50.8 in) per year. Most of Cornwall enjoys over 1541 hours of sunshine per year.
