The landscape also has an affect on the weather though, our relatively small hills are often only enough to create the odd bits of cloud out of the prevailing south-westerly, and often moist airflow. In contrast, the higher mountains of Snowdonia push the warm air further up into the atmosphere and lead to the formation of rain bearing clouds. Sometimes the hills along the peninsula trap the cloud, often splitting the weather on Ll?n into two, between the north and south coasts.
