Weather in the UK
The weather affects everyone, and everyone has something to say about the weather.
This is especially true in a country like the UK that has very changeable weather. In
the UK the weather from one day to the next can be completely different, or even from
the morning to the afternoon. The weather can change from being rainy one day to
sunny the next, or from strong wind and gales in the morning to Snow in the afternoon.
In the UK there are four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the
weather is different in each of them. However, there is not a sudden change between
the seasons. The end of the winter season is the same as the start of the spring season.
It takes several weeks for the weather to change enough for people to notice the
difference.
The summer is the season with the best weather. In general, it is hot and sunny with
only a little rain sometimes. However, it can sometimes be cold and wet for one or two
weeks at a time. British people like to spend a lot of time outside when it is nice in the
summer. After the summer is the autumn. In this season the weather gets colder and
there are stronger winds, also it will rain more. All the leaves will start to fall off the
trees as it is cold. Frost might start to form on the ground towards the end of the
autumn.
Winter is the coldest season in the UK. The temperature will often be at zero degrees
Celsius. This means that ice will often form on the ground overnight where there were
puddles. This makes it difficult to walk sometimes. There might also be Snow, but the
UK does not get much Snow, mainly just cold rain in the Winter. Then when winter
ends the spring starts. The temperature will start to get warmer and the winds will not
be as strong. Plants start to grow again and new leaves form. It is always nice when the
spring starts as it means the nice weather in the summer is nearly back again.
Many people in the UK complain about the weather, but as the weather changes so
much it is very interesting and gives the people something to talk about all year round.
