Климат - Климат и погода в Великобритании The climate in Great Britain has three main features: it’s mild, humid and changeable. The temperatures seldom reaches extremes of heat or cold. It averages about 40 degrees Fahrenheit in January and 60 degrees in August. The best time of the year in Britain is spring. The days are rather long and you have much time to enjoy the wonderful landscape. Summer is cool and there can be a lot of rainy days. So most people who look forward to summer holidays, plan to go abroad for the summer – to France, Spain or some other places on the Continent. Autumn is a rainy season and the weather is mostly dull. But there may be a spell of sunny weather in late September, which they call Indian summer, when the sky seems clear, the sun shines and the Earth is covered with fallen leaves. In winter the sky is pale, grey and has low clouds. The sun shines rarely, its rays are pale, it sets and rises late. The winter air is frosty and the weather is windy. The best place in the world then is at home by the fire. The most typical feature of British weather is fog. Sometimes fogs are so thick that it’s impossible to see anything within a few meters. English says: “Other countries have a climate; in England we have weather”. It means that the weather in Great Britain is very changeable. - Опишите климат Вашей страны Russia is the world's largest country as it covers 11 time zones and all climate zones except tropical with land that stretches almost halfway around the planet.

Someone likes warm summers, and someone likes snowy winters. My favorite season is summer because it is always warm and memorable. In summer, the sun constantly shines, plants bloom with green leaves, and the weather is clear. The day is much longer than the night and you have time to solve all your problems and relax. In the summer I usually spend my time with my friends. We like to play football or basketball, swim in the river, drive a car, have picnics, play board or computer games. But sometimes I go to rest on the Russian Black Sea coast or go fishing in Astrakhan. Sometimes it rains and I sit at home and read a book or watch movies. And sometimes it is very hot and being under the scorching sun is very dangerous. In this case, the house is the most comfortable place. I think that every season is beautiful. Everywhere you can find advantages and be happy not only in summer.
