How does the coast influence Aberaeron’s local conditions?
Being open to the Irish Sea, Aberaeron can experience brisk south-westerly winds that bring cloud and rainbands in from the Atlantic.

Sea fog, known locally as haard, can drift in during spring and early summer, reducing visibility along the promenade.

Does Aberaeron get much snow in winter?
