The British Weather

1. The climate in Great Britain is usually mild (мягкий). It doesn't get very hot in summer but it's never (никогда) too (слишком) cold in winter because the warm Gulf Stream from the west and south-west has an effect on the British weather. January and February are usually the coldest months. July and August are the warmest. During the year the temperature is usually from 5 to 23 degrees (градус) above zero. In the south it is sometimes above 30 degrees, but they don't often have winter temperature below 10 degrees. British lakes and rivers don't usually freeze and it snows only (только) in the north but not often.

 

2. The weather in Great Britain changes (изменяться) very often because of the winds from different parts (частей) of the world (мир). The British often say that they have no climate but only weather. People like to speak (разговаривать) about their weather. When they plan different jobs they often say (говорят) «... if the weather is fine». But it is fine not very often. When people speak about the nature of a person they often say: «He or she is as changeable (переменный) as the weather».

 

3. The British people say that they have three variants of weather: when it rains in the morning, when it rains in the afternoon or when it rains all day long. Sometimes when the rain is heavy (сильный) they say, «It's raining cats and dogs» (Дождь льет как из ведра). Really the rain is the most important characteristics of the British weather. But the worst thing in it is the fog (туман), which they usually have for days and weeks in autumn and winter. It is often mixed (смешивается) with smoke (дым) and they have smog (sm oke + f og) which is even worse than fog.
