THE ENGLISH CLIMATE

In England it is never too hot or too cold for work or play in the open
air. This is because of the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean, which keep the
island warm in winter and make the air cool in summer. The temperature
rarely goes below four degrees or above twenty-five degrees. But the weather
is often dull and damp with too little sunshine. The frequent moderate winds
make it feel colder than it really is.
The warm winds that blow from the Atlantic bring plenty of rain to the
island. The east and north-east winds are cool and dry.
The weather in England changes very often. You can never have the
same kind of weather for a long time. In spring, sunshine and showers follow
each other often during the day. An umbrella or a raincoat - are things you
want most in England.
In spring the weather is generally mild but sometimes they got really
cold days. The summer is not so hot as on the continent. The warm days in
autumn are beautiful.
In winter they have all sorts of weather. Sometimes it rains and
sometimes it snows, and they also have frog and frost and the rivers and lakes
are seldom covered with ice. Still, in England it is never as cold as on the
continent.
*But the worst thing about the climate in England is the thick fog
which they so often have in autumn and in winter. In London the fog is
sometimes so thick that cars run into one another. The fog is one of the worst
typical features of London and the Londoners cannot imagine their capital
without it.
The climate influences British architecture very much, British houses
have large windows to let through more light during winter. Sunshine is a
welcome visitor for the British people, and it is not usually from the heat of
the sun that they seek shelter, but from wind and rain and cold.
And yet British houses give little protection from cold. Double windows are
unknown. Few houses have central heating. The usual heating of a room is an
open fire. British rooms are kept much cooler than is the custom in America
and Central Europe.
