Weather in England

England is the only country where one can experience four seasons in a single day. It may be sunny and warm in the morning like in spring, and a few hours later the sky may be covered with heavy black clouds, it may start raining like in autumn. Then, in the afternoon, it gets cold and windy like in winter. Then, later in the evening it will clear up, the sun will begin to shine and it will be rather warm like in summer. The weather in England is so unpredictable that the English say, "Other countries have a climate, in England we have weather."

Foreigners may be surprised when they see the Englishman walking on a brilliant sunny morning wearing a raincoat and carrying an umbrella. People can never rely on the weather forecast and always take umbrellas with them when they go out, because they can never be sure what sort of weather they are going to have the next moment. And, of course, the weather's variety provides a constant topic for conversation. When people don't know each other well it's always safe to start a conversation with weather.

On the whole the climate in England is mild and raw. The waters of the Gulf Stream bring warmth to the county and the grass is green all the year round. There are a lot of evergreen trees. There are no heavy frosts in winter and the snow melts soon after it falls. Another peculiarity of the English climate is its thick fog. It may be so dense that traffic stops and you can see nothing a few metres in front of you. In summer it may be rather warm. The warmest and sunniest region is the south coast where there are quite a number of seaside towns. Holidaymakers like to go there for one-day stay. They breathe fresh air and sunbathe. Few people swim because the water is usually rather cold.

Погода в Англии

Англия это такая страна, где в один и тот же день можно ожидать четыре времени года. Утром солнечно и тепло как весной, а уже через несколько часов небо затянуто тяжёлыми чёрными облаками и идет дождь как это бывает осенью. После обеда становится холодно и ветер дует как зимой. Затем, вечером погода проясняется, светит солнце и становится тепло как летом. Погода в Англии такая непредсказуемая, что англичане говорят: «В других странах климат, а у нас в Англии погода».

Иностранцы удивляются, когда видят англичан в ясный солнечный день в плащах и с зонтами. Люди никогда не могут полагаться на прогноз погоды и всегда берут с собой зонты, когда выходят из дома, так как не уверены какая погода будет в следующий момент. И, конечно, такое разнообразие погодных условий обеспечивает постоянную тему для разговоров. Если люди мало знакомы друг с другом всегда безопасно начать разговор с обсуждения погоды.

В целом климат в Англии мягкий и влажный. Воды Гольфстрима приносят тепло на континент, и трава зеленеет круглый год. В Англии много вечнозелёных растений. Зимой нет суровых морозов, а снег тает сразу после того как выпадет. Другая особенность английского климата – это густой туман. Он бывает настолько плотным, что движение останавливается и ничего нельзя увидеть на расстоянии нескольких метров перед собой. Летом погода чаще всего теплая. Самый теплый и солнечный регион – южное побережье, на котором расположено много городов. Сюда любят приезжать на выходные хотя бы на один день. Люди дышат свежим воздухом и загорают. Так как вода обычно холодная, плавают совсем немногие.
