Climate: Britain has a wet and windy temperate-oceanic climate. Winter is especially harsh in the north of England and Scotland. Summer is not very hot with temperatures that rarely exceed the 30°C. The weather can vary greatly from day to day, but generally summer (June-August) is a warm 14-25°C, and winter (December-February) is cool 1-4°C. The west is usually cloudier, wetter, warmer in summer and colder in winter than the east.

The rainfall is distributed throughout the year. Rainfall is greatest in hilly areas and in the west side of the country. Typically the period from March to June are the most dry while the period from November to January are the most rainy. Important is the influence of the warm current of the Gulf, which on equal latitude, winter temperatures are much higher than in Central and Eastern Europe.

Temperatures vary somewhat from west to east, in winter, the coldest month, January, has temperatures from 3.5°C in the area of London to 6.5°C of Cornwall; in July southern England has an average temperature of 16.5°C, while in the north of Scotland 13°C. Frequent are the mists and fogs.
