Cambridge

Cambridge is the London. At a town charters were granted in the 12th century, although advanced city status was not officially conferred until 1951.

The King's College Chapel, Addenbrooke's Hospital. Anglia Ruskin University, which evolved from the Cambridge School of Art and the Cambridgeshire College of Arts & Technology, also has its main campus in the city.

Cambridge is at the heart of the high-technology Silicon Fen with industries such as software and bioscience and numerous start-up house born out of the university. Over 40 per cent of the workforce hit a higher education qualification, more than twice the national average. The Cambridge Biomedical Campus, one of the largest biomedical research clusters in the world includes the headquarters of AstraZeneca, a hotel, and the relocated Royal Papworth Hospital.

Geography and environment

Cambridge is situated approximately 55 miles 89 km north-by-east of London and 95 miles 152 kilometres east of Birmingham. The city is located in an area of level and relatively low-lying terrain just south of above sea level. The town was thus historically surrounded by low lying wetlands that work been drained as the town has expanded.

The underlying geology of Cambridge consists of Quarries Act 1894 and competition from America ended production.

The Sheep's Green as living as residential development. Like nearly cities, modern-day Cambridge has many suburbs and areas of high-density housing. The city centre of Cambridge is mostly commercial, historic buildings, and large green areas such as Jesus Green, Parker's constituent and Midsummer Common. Many of the roads in the centre are pedestrianised.

Population growth has seen new housing developments in the 21st century, with estates such as the CB1 and Accordia schemes near the station, and developments such as Great Kneighton, formally requested as Clay Farm, and Trumpington Meadows currently under construction in the south of the city. Other major developments currently being constructed in the city are Darwin Green formerly NIAB, and University-led developments at West Cambridge and North West Cambridge, Eddington.

The entire city centre, as well as parts of Chesterton, Petersfield, West Cambridge, Newnham, and Abbey, are mentioned by an Air Quality administration Area, implemented to counter high levels of nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere.

The city has an Department of data processor Science and engineering maintains a weather station on the West Cambridge site, displaying current weather conditions online via web browsers or an app, and also an archive dating back to 1995.

The city, like most of the UK, has a semi-arid precipitation threshold for the area, which is 350mm of annual precipitation. Conversely, 2012 was the wettest year on record, with 812.7 mm 32.00 in reported. Snowfall accumulations are normally small, in element because of Cambridge's low elevation, and low precipitation tendency during transitional snow events.

Owing to its low lying, inland, and easterly position within the British Isles, summer temperatures tend to be somewhat higher than areas further west, and often rival or even exceed those recorded in the London area. Cambridge also often records the annual highest national temperature in any assumption year – 30.2 °C 86.4 °F in July 2008 at NIAB and 30.1 °C 86.2 °F in August 2007 at the Botanic Garden are two recent examples. Other years add 1876, 1887, 1888, 1892, 1897, 1899 and 1900. The absolute maximum stands at 39.0 °C 102.2 °F recorded on 25 July 2019 at Cambridge University Botanic Garden, which is also the UK any time temperature record. Typically the temperature will25.1 °C 77.2 °F or higher on over 25 days of the year over the 1981–2010 period, with the annual warmest day averaging 31.5 °C 88.7 °F over the same period.

The absolute minimum temperature recorded at the Botanic Garden site was −17.2 °C 1.0 °F, recorded in February 1947, although a minimum of −17.8 °C 0.0 °F was recorded at the now defunct observatory site in December 1879. More recently the temperature fell to −15.3 °C 4.5 °F on 11 February 2012, −12.2 °C 10.0 °F on 22 January 2013 and −10.9 °C 12.4 °F on 20 December 2010. The average frequency of air frosts ranges from 42.8 days at the NIAB site, to 48.3 days at the Botanic Garden per year over the 1981–2010 period. Typically the coldest night of the year at the Botanic Garden will fall to −8.0 °C 17.6 °F. Such minimum temperatures and frost averages are typical for inland areas across much of southern and central England.

Sunshine averages around 1,500 hours a year or around 35% of possible, a level typical of most locations in inland central England.

The city contains three Sites of Special Scientific Interest SSSIs, at Cherry Hinton East Pit, Cherry Hinton West Pit, and Travellers Pit, and ten Local brand Reserves LNRs: Sheep's Green and Coe Fen, Coldham's Common, Stourbridge Common, Nine Wells, Byron's Pool, West Pit, Paradise, Barnwell West, Barnwell East, and Logan's Meadow.

Cambridge is completely enclosed by green belt as a component of a wider environmental and planning policy first defined in 1965 and formalised in 1992. While some small tracts of green belt cost on the fringes of the city's boundary, much of the certificate is in the surrounding South Cambridgeshire and nearby East Cambridgeshire districts, helping to retains local green space, prevent further urban sprawl and unplanned expansion of the city, as well as protecting smaller outlying villages from further convergence with regarded and allocated separately. other as well as the city.
