England has a diverse climate. The western side of the country near, the Atlantic Ocean, receives the mildest temperatures but also receives lots of precipitaion and experiences lots of wind. On the eastern side of England, the climate is cooler but also drier and less windy. England is also very hot during the summer. On average, the sun shines 1340 hours in England with the southern part of the country receiving the most sun because of the prevailing winds that prevent the clouds from covering the sky. The northern, western and the mountain ranges of England receive the most cloud cover.
In the spring, the climate is cool and dry and ranges from 0-10 degrees Celsius. However, there is a significant chance that it will reach a fairly warm temperature at noon. In the spring, snow is still possible until the middle of April. (YUCK!)
From June until August is the summer time in England. It is during these months that the climate is at its driest but in the southern,eastern and central parts of the country, thunderstorms allow the gardens to remain perfectly watered. The summer is in fact the warmest in England in comparison to the other
counties in the United Kingdom. July is also England's
driest month. In the Southeastern regions, the temperatures can reach around 30 degrees Celsius by noon while the rest of the country's temperatures range from 17-20 degrees Celsius.
During the autumn season the climate fluctuates. The different pressure systems and the cool air produce mass amounts of precipitation. The temperature ranges from 1-13 degrees Celsius.
The winter season is wet and windy and it is normal to see snow throughout the country of England. The temperature can be from 0 degrees to 10 degrees with very cold winds. Since the Atlantic Ocean borders England and it has cooled down, the coastal region's climate is more stable than it is during the autumn months.

Australia and Britain are both islands, and being surrounded by water greatly impacts a country’s climate. They also both have a diverse climate: mountains on one side, drier areas somewhere else, etc. England has a hot summer just as Australia does. However, the summer temperatures in Australia are 10 degrees higher than England’s on average. Also, during the winter, Britain’s average high temperature (10°C) is still lower than Australia’s low temperature which is on average 23°.
ReplyDeleteSounds to me like Britain has very nice weather! That makes me want to visit it even more. Italy also has a very diverse climate,depending on the city your in and how close you are to the water because Italy extends out into the Mediterranean Sea.
