The Ross of Mull and Iona's Micro Climate

 

The climate particularly on the Ross of Mull is influenced by the Gulf Stream. Consequently, west of the hills in summer our Mull accommodation, Iona and the Isle of Staffa are one of the sunniest locations in UK. Being a "Ross", (a peninsular juting out into the ocean), although sunny in summer, Fionnphort and area are often windy with "sea breezes". You can feel cool and be sun burnt at the same time! Consequently bring your "woolleys and suncream on your holday. Additionally South west Mull has almost half the rainfall annually that the mountainous centre and east side of Mull record!
