TOPIC 15 «People have no climate, only weather »

The weather is so changeable indeed that the English often say that they have no climate but only weather. The English also say that they have three kinds of weather: when it rains in the morning, when it rains in the afternoon or when it rains all day long. The weather in Britain changes very quickly. The weather is so uncertain, because one day it rains, the next day it may be sunny and the next day be cold again. The morning may be warm and the evening may be cool. The weather is the favourite topic of conversation in Britain. Sometimes it rains so heavily that they say, "It's raining cats and dogs". We may say that the British climate has three main features: it is mild, humid and changeable. That means that it is never too hot or too cold. Winters are extremely mild. Snow may come but it melts quickly. In winter, the cold is humid cold, not the dry one. The best time of the year in England is the spring and early summer. Then the cold winds and the fog and the heavy rains have all gone, and the sun is warm for the first time. Therefore, it happens because the weather changes more often than in other countries.
