Cambridgeshire's average annual rainfall of {{convert|24|in|mm|-2}} makes it one of Britain's driest counties. Protected from the cool onshore coastal breezes east of the region, the county is warm in summer and cold and frosty in winter.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Greig |first=Dr. A. |author2=Martin, J. |title=Cambridgeshire and Peterborough's State of the Environment Report: Chapter 11 Physical Background |publisher=Cambridgeshire County Council |year=1998 |url=http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/2F0D5E30-F308-406B-9455-86B9EDDD50EC/0/soe98physical.pdf |access-date=9 June 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110609152805/http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/2F0D5E30-F308-406B-9455-86B9EDDD50EC/0/soe98physical.pdf |archive-date=9 June 2011}}</ref>
