   The climate of Great Britain is the favourite conversational topic in England, a topic of conversation that other people do not find so interesting. In Great Britain it is possible to be in the open air during the whole year, because of the sea, which keeps the island warm in winter and makes the air cool in summer.
   The winds also greatly influence  upon the weather in Great Britain. They blow from the south-west two days out of every three. But warm winds that blow from the Atlantic are as wet as they are warm. They also bring plenty of rain to the island.
   Rain is fairly well distributed  throughout the year: June is the driest month all over England, May is the next driest in the east and centre of England, but April is drier in parts of the west and north. The wettest months are usually October, December and August.
   The east and north-east winds are cold and dry. Summers are not too hot and winters are not too cold.
   The outstanding features of the climate of Britain are its humidity , mildness and variability. The West which is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea, is wetter than the coast washed by the North Sea. Rain falls on the British Isles in every month of the year. In winter the continent of Europe gets colder with increasing distance from the Atlantic. And a similar effect can be noticed on the British Isles, because eastern Britain faces the colder parts of the continent whereas western Britain faces the relatively warm Atlantic. The coldest parts of the British Isles are in Scotland.
   In winter they have all sorts of weather. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it snows and they also have fog  and frost. The rivers and lakes are seldom covered with ice. As the ice, if there is any, is not thick enough they seldom go skating on the rivers in Great Britain.
   In January the warmest parts are southwestern Ireland and south-western England. There snow is rare and it never lies on the ground for long. The spring, too, comes here earlier.
   Thanks to the mild climate there are a lot of evergreen plants in Great Britain, and the country is always green. Grass grows all the year round.
   But the worst  thing about the climate in Great Britain is the thick fog which they so often have in autumn or winter.
