| The
weather is of great importantance to sailors and
fisherman. It is also important to holidaymakers
and business people. Torquay at the heart of the
English-Riviera is known for its more clement
UK weather and its similarity to the South of
France. The bay crescent faces southeast, providing
calm sailing conditions and protecting it from
the the more severe weather conditions, whilst
Dartmoor is a barrier to the prevailing winds.
The Torquay climate supports
many sub-tropical plants, in particular the famous
Torbay Palms. |
