What is High Wycombe’s typical climate through the seasons?

How does local geography affect High Wycombe’s weather?
High Wycombe sits in the Wye Valley within the Chiltern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The surrounding escarpment can trap mist and low cloud, especially in autumn and winter, while the valley floor is often a few degrees cooler than the hilltops. The Chilterns also provide a slight rain shadow effect, but the town still receives around 700–800 mm of rain annually, spread fairly evenly.
When is the best time to visit High Wycombe and what should you pack?
Late spring (May) and early autumn (September) offer the most reliable weather for walking in the Chilterns. Pack layers: a waterproof jacket, sturdy shoes and a sun hat for summer. In winter, bring a warm coat and gloves for frosty mornings. An umbrella is useful any month.
