The British climate is pleasant. Summers are usually not too hot with the highest temperature less
than 30? and rarely rising over 32?. Winters are usually warm because of the warm air that comes from
the Atlantic Ocean. The cold weather is common (普通的), but thetemperature rarely falls under -10?
The difference between summer and winter temperatures in most parts of Britain (including both day and
night temperatures) is only about 12?. In some parts of Russia, such as Siberia, this difference can be as
much as 40?
Different parts of the British Isles receive different rainfall. More rain falls in the west and north, such
as in Scotland, the Lake District and Wales, because there are many hills and mountains. In some parts
of Scotland it can rain or snow as many as 300 days in a year. But in East Anglia, rainfall is much less,
and dry summers can receive very little rainfall. The air from the Atlantic Ocean brings wind and rain, but
usually warm air. For this reason, the climate of the British Isles can change from one day to the next.
