== Climate == Enniskillen has a [[maritime climate]] with a narrow range of temperatures and rainfall. The nearest official [[Met Office]] [[weather station]] for which online records are available is at Lough Navar Forest,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Station Locations |url=http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/ni/images/locations.jpg |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121006020941/http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/ni/images/locations.jpg |archive-date=6 October 2012 |access-date=20 September 2011 |publisher=[[MetOffice]]}}</ref> about {{convert|8+1/2|mi|0|abbr=on}} northwest of Enniskillen.
