How does Staplehurst’s location affect its climate?

Sitting in the Weald of Kent, about 20 miles from the coast, Staplehurst escapes the strongest sea breezes. This can mean warmer afternoons than Folkestone or Hastings but also cooler nights, especially when skies clear. The surrounding farmland and woods help trap moisture, occasionally producing misty starts before the sun breaks through.
