===Climate=== York has a [[Oceanic climate|temperate climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Cfb]]) with four distinct seasons. As with the rest of the Vale of York, the city's climate is drier and warmer than the rest of the [[Yorkshire and the Humber]] region. Owing to its lowland location, York is prone to frosts, fog, and cold winds during winter, spring, and very early summer.<ref>{{cite web|title=England Rural Development Programme: Appendix A3 – Yorkshire and The Humber Region – Section 1 Description Of Current Situation In The Yorkshire And The Humber Region|pages=2–3|url=http://www.hull.ac.uk/coastalobs/media/pdf/appendixa3.pdf|publisher=East Yorkshire Coastal Observatory|access-date=15 June 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606041951/http://www.hull.ac.uk/coastalobs/media/pdf/appendixa3.pdf|archive-date=6 June 2011|url-status=live}}</ref> Snow can fall in winter from December onwards to as late as April but quickly melts. As with much of the British Isles, the weather is changeable. York experiences most sunshine from May to July, an average of six hours per day.<ref>{{cite web|title=Average Conditions:York, United Kingdom|publisher=[[BBC Weather]]|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/city_guides/results.shtml?tt=TT003820/|access-date=24 July 2008|archive-date=28 December 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081228232345/http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/city_guides/results.shtml?tt=TT003820|url-status=dead}}</ref> With its inland location, summers are often warmer than the Yorkshire coast with temperatures of 27 °C or more.
