The weather in England is very changeable. It changes so often that it is difficult to forecast. When people meet each other, the weather is a good topic for conversation.
British springs are cool because the winds blow from the Atlantic Ocean. In spring sunshine and showers follow each other.
The temperature grows, the sky becomes blue, and the sun grows warmer. Everything is full of new life again. The days grow longer and warmer, the ground, covered with green grass, looks pleasant. It's the best time to visit England.
Summer is the hottest season in England. The days are long, and the nights are short and warm. It’s time for holidays, when people go to the seaside for sunbathing and swimming.
Autumn is a season of winds and beautiful sunsets. The leaves turn yellow and red and fall to the ground.
In winter it rains and sometimes it snows. It isn’t so cold and there is not much snow in winter. The rivers in England never freeze, that’s why children there go skating very seldom.
