English people say "Other countries have a climate, in England we have weather". The weather changes more often in England than in other countries. British winters are mild and springs are cool because of the winds from the Atlantic Ocean. They blow two days out of every three. In spring sunshine often changes for showers during the day. So in spring one must have an umbrella or a raincoat in England. Spring is the season when nature awakens from its long winter sleep. Everything is full of new life again. The days grow longer and warmer; the ground gets covered with green grass. Summer is the hottest season in England. It's time for holidays, when people go to the seaside for sunbathing and swimming. It usually gets hot in July. The summer nights are short, but they are wonderful. As for autumn, it isn't so nice. It's a season of winds and beautiful sunsets. The leaves tum yellow and reddish and fall to the ground and the birds migrate to warm countries. In autumn the days become shorter. There is a short period of sunny weather in September called Indian summer. In England September and October are warm and dry, but November is the foggiest month. Nobody likes late autumn. Everything looks gloomy (мрачно). In winter it sometimes rains and sometimes it snows. The rivers in England never freeze, that's why children there go skating very seldom. 1.
