How does Birkenhead’s location shape its weather?
Perched on the eastern bank of the Wirral, Birkenhead catches the full influence of the Irish Sea and the Dee estuary. That means frequent cloud and showers from the west, but also a slight tempering of winter frosts. Inland parts of Wirral often see less wind, while the coast here stays a few degrees cooler in summer.
