The climate of the uk
A.: It’s well known that speaking of the weather is the favourite topic in the UK. Will you take part in discussing the British climate at our conference next Monday?
B.: With pleasure. But do you know that the English like saying: “We have no climate, but only weather”.
A.: Yes, I do. They say, that they have three variants of weather: when it’s raining in the morning, when it’s raining in the afternoon, and when it’s raining all day long.
B.: Sometimes it rains so heavily that they say: “It’s raining cats and dogs!” And sometimes they say about a person: “As changeable as the weather”. Do you know why the British weather is so changeable?
A.: You see, Britain is visited by winds from different parts of the world, that’s why the weather is so changeable.
B.: So, we may say that the British climate has main features: it is humid and changeable …
A.: Sorry for interrupting you, but I can add one more feature: it is mild.
B.: What does it mean?
A.: It means that it is never too hot or too cold. Winters are extremely mild. Melting snow is quick. The Gulf Stream and warm southwestern winds influence the climate greatly.
B.: You are great. I want to know as much as you do. I’ll be at the conference by all means. Can you assist me in finding some information on the subject?
A.: You are welcome!
