Met Office UK Weather Forecast Horncastle WeatherTourists and visitors are often surprised to find that the bottom of the Lincolnshire Wolds tends to have it's own micro climate. Often the heaviest of the Westerley Atlantic storms are tired after their trip over the Pennines, tending to slide out to sea down the Witham from Lincoln and into The Wash. To the North they do similar down the Humber from Sheffield, and into the Sea at Cleethorpes, avoiding Horncastle.Detailed Area Synopsis The Easterly winter storm winds generally get blocked by the 450ft high Wold and Heath to the North East. Quite often the weather at Lincoln is different to Horncastle which is different to the Coast, with only 40 miles seperating the 3 areas.  From the Wold above Horncastle, it's possible to see the Nitrous brown smog that blankets Nottingham, and to a lesser extent, Lincoln. At 20 miles the town is probably the furthest place to which seagulls come to actively, and I can occasionally catch the North Sea's aroma, having been born and bred in the Midlands. In late spring, it's funny to hear the young crows coming up from the fen making seagull shrieks, as this is all they've ever known. Later in the season, after some time spent with inland rookeries, their call reverts back to a 'caw'. Geo InfoOrdnance Survey MapNo matter which way you come into the town, it's downhill; indeed, Spilsby, out near the fens, is higher asl. This means the town is somewhat sheltered on all sides and practically surrounded by water courses; the Romans using this to their benefit with the erection of a substantial fort.
