Concluding Information for Charlwood, Surrey
Charlwood, Surrey has many climate control factors which makes this location interesting to study when it comes to the weather and climate of this location. Charlwood is as stated in previous posts located in England which of course is a large island surrounded by water on all sides. Charlwood is located near the southern edge of England, Charlwood is inland but only about an hour or two away from the ocean. On a Meso (Regional) scale level Charlwood is mainly effected by the large body of water that surrounds England which effects the water tremendously. The image below shows England and the large body of water surrounding the island.

The image above also shows that Charlwood does not have any mountain ranges extremely close but Charlwood does have a very hilly terrain which can effect the weather somewhat. As stated in the first blog post Charlwood is effected by five different frontal systems some of which bring cold front off of the mountains in the east and others which bring hurricane type fronts from the south west. During the winter season Charlwood experiences colder weather from Arctic and polar fronts blowing in from the North. And during the summer seasons Charlwood experiences warmer weather from tropical fronts blowing in from the south (See image on first blog for specific fronts). Charlwood experiences a lot of precipitation all year round due to its geographic location and due to the fronts that effect it.
I do not know too much about the micro
scale level of Charlwood except that most of the area is farm land or
suburban and it is located fairly close to London which is a much larger
city in England. These three things can effect the micro scale level
but it is nothing too significant. The image below just shows the typical landscape of Charlwood Surrey and the hilly terrain that surrounds this small town.

As you can see in these graphs there are a few changes that are fairly significant. In the month of January Charlwood experienced some changes showing that the climate was warming up during 1990 but then the environment corrected itself and cooled down again by 2010. Based on this chart one could determine that Charlwood will most likely warm up again by 2020 and then will most likely work its way back down again. In the month of July the temperature stays relatively the same but increases slightly every year without correcting itself and cooling down again. So one could determine that Charlwood is going to continue to increase gradually over the next ten years cooling only slightly.
Charlwood, Surrey Compared to Seattle, Washington
I chose to compare my site to one of my fellow classmates which was Seattle, Washington. These two sites compare rather nicely with very few differences. Seattle is surrounded by large bodies of water almost similar to Charlwood except that Charlwood is an island surrounded by the ocean. But both of these locations weather patterns are effected by these bodies of water. Both of these locations receive much rain fall and are typically cloud covered. These two locations sit at about the same latitude with Charlwood at 51.1566 deg. North and Seattle at 47.6097 deg. North. The differences between these two locations would be that Seattle is a much larger city by itself which means that it is effected more on a micro scale level than surrey is. Also Seattle has a large Mountain chain that effects it where Charlwood does not.
