Description

The Cutty Sark is a Grade I listed tea clipper, weighing 963 gross tons, launched in 1869 for the China tea trade. After 1877, she was used for the Australian wool run and was the fastest ship of her time. The vessel is now preserved in a special dry dock and serves as a museum and a permanent memorial to the era of sailing ships, maintained by the Cutty Sark Society.

Local climate

Cutty Sark sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 52% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
