Weather in the UK

The weather affects everyone, and everyone has something to say about the weather. This is
especially true in a country like the UK that has very changeable weather. In the UK the weather from
one day to the next can be completely different, or even from the morning to the afternoon. The
weather can change from being rainy one day to sunny the next, or from strong wind and gales in the
morning to snow in the afternoon.

In the UK there are four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the weather is different in
each of them. However, there is not a sudden change between the seasons. The end of the winter
season is the same as the start of the spring season. It takes several weeks for the weather to change
enough for people to notice the difference.

The summer is the season with the best weather. In general, it is hot and sunny with only a little rain
sometimes. However, it can sometimes be cold and wet for one or two weeks at a time. British people
like to spend a lot of time outside when it is nice in the summer. After the summer is the autumn. In
this season the weather gets colder and there are stronger winds, also it will rain more. All the leaves
will start to fall off the trees as it is cold. Frost might start to form on the ground towards the end of the
autumn.

Winter is the coldest season in the UK. The temperature will often be at zero degrees Celsius. This
means that ice will often form on the ground overnight where there were puddles. This makes it
difficult to walk sometimes. There might also be snow, but the UK does not get much snow, mainly just
cold rain in the winter. Then when winter ends the spring starts. The temperature will start to get
warmer and the winds will not be as strong. Plants start to grow again and new leaves form. It is
always nice when the spring starts as it means the nice weather in the summer is nearly back again.

Many people in the UK complain about the weather, but as the weather changes so much it is very
interesting and gives the people something to talk about all year round.
