Hi Wendy ,
I live near Llandielo and have been here for 6 1/2 years .( SA183BZ )
I used to reside at Guyhirn ( PE134BJ 0 near Wisbech on a small holding sort of set up , because of disabilities I have retired totally ,but perhaps this might be of some use to you.
Re:-
The weather , what I have noticed and undestood is that because of Wales being with water on three sides so to speak and the tiny hills the locals call mountains , the weather over the whole year can vary from village to village on a daily basis .
The wind direction has a big bearing on the weather , so does being on the sunny side of a hill so you get as much sunshine as is available.
We spent several months trying to find the such a place within our finances .
Where we are is reasonably high up on the Amman valley rim at 120 mtrs , often when the valley is cloaked in mist for much of the day we get sun .
Being on Amman valley protected side /rim of the hills sees weather pushed up, the rain usually drops down much heavier a mile or so away . But five miles away at Llandielo when we get summer rain here it is often sunny and warn .
Keep an eye on the national BBC weather forecast patterns and you'll soon start to see a couple of major patterns /lines of similar weathers
We used the on line Multi Map to look at the real cartography of contour lines , shapes /heights of things coupled with average & prevalent winds directions through out the year .
We also use the internet to try and find out annual rain fall patterns.
We aslo use some of the various birds eye views of places from the likes of google ( now google earth ) we had located as for sale so we could see what else was in the ara and learnt to avoid all sorts of things that would not be good for us or our new way of life..
Some friends of ours didn't do any such thing and have regretted it time and time again for they rarely get any sunshine on their 12 acre place as it is on the north side of a large hill that has tall conifer wood land either side of their homestead.
