wet climate. It is much milder than that of a continental country: it is warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

But what influences the climate in Britain most of all is the Gulf Stream, a warm oceanic current flowing in the northwest of the island. Due to the Gulf Stream and the form of the surface, the climate is not the same in different parts of the island. The western part is warmer and it has more rain. The eastern part is cooler and drier due to the nearness to the continent and due to the fact that the western hills and mountains shut out the mild winds blowing from the Atlantic Ocean.

It is never too cold or too hot in Britain except in the extreme north of Scotland where it sometimes freezes and snows and the temperature falls below zero.

In the south of England snow falls only a few times during the winter and never lies long. But it often rains and there are few sunny days in winter. The average winter temperature is between 3Æ and 7Æ (minus three degrees and minus seven degrees).

No doubt that the Gulf Stream bringing warm waters to the British shores and making the climate mild causes it to be damp too. Britain is known as a very rainy and foggy island. Fogs occur very often in autumn and winter and are so dense at times that street traffic and navigation are stopped.

The winter fogs in London are indeed awful. They surpass all imagination. One can form no idea of what they are without hav ing seen them with one’s own eyes. In the fog the air is hardly fit for breathing, it is grey, yellow, of deep orange and even black. At times it becomes so thick a cloud that it involves London in darkness even at midday. London is called “the home of fog” and November is the foggiest month. The fogs are mainly perhaps due to large expanse of water in the Thames being warmer than the air at this time. In London and in other big towns where the air is filled with soot and smoke the people use a new word “smog” which is a combination of the two words: “smoke” and “fog”.

The climate of Britain being very changeable, people often say that Britain has no climate but only weather. That’s why perhaps the English people speak so much about weather and
