Editing Bingley (section)

==Climate==
As with all of the United Kingdom, Bingley experiences a [[Oceanic climate|maritime climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Cfb]]), characterised cool to mild weather, with often cloudy and damp conditions. This is amplified by Bingley's hilly northern situation. The nearest official met office weather station for which data is available is 'Bingley No. 2", actually located a couple of miles south of the town centre and at a relatively high 262 metres above sea level – More elevated than all of the urbanised area of Bingley. It is therefore likely that temperatures in central Bingley, at as little as 80 metres above sea level, tend to be 1 to 1.5&nbsp;°C milder year round – though on cold clear nights this may be reversed as a temperature inversion takes hold.

The highest temperature recorded since 1980 at Bingley was 31.6&nbsp;°C (88.9&nbsp;°F)<ref>{{cite web
