Well, friend, Ben Nevis is colder than Plymouth because of its higher altitude. As you go higher up a mountain, the temperature drops because the air becomes thinner and can't hold onto heat as well. Plymouth, being closer to the sea, benefits from the moderating effects of the ocean, which keeps it a bit warmer. It's all part of nature's beautiful balance.
