Editing Ayr (section)

===Climate===
The nearest official Met Office weather station to Ayr is Auchincruive, about {{convert|3|mi|km|0}} to the north-east of Ayr town centre. The area experiences very cool summers and somewhat mild winters. The air is cooler during the summer due to its proximity to the sea as water has a major cooling effect on summer temperatures. 

During the winter months the reverse happens and the [[sea air]] has a major warming effect on the climate. The area rarely sees extremes, owing to the effects of sea air. Rainfall is generally plentiful throughout the year due to Atlantic weather systems sweeping in from the west. Compared with the rest of Scotland, the area rarely sees much mist and [[fog]] due to the land being relatively flat and low lying, and, with the wind blowing across the flatter land, this generally hinders fog from developing widely. This has made Glasgow Prestwick International Airport particularly well known as one of the less fog-prone airports in Scotland. Snowfall is rare in this part of Scotland because of the mild sea air.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/averages/19712000/sites/auchincruive.html |title=averages 1971–2000 |publisher=Met Office |date=19 November 2008 |access-date=9 June 2009}}</ref>
