The climate of the United Kingdom is generally mild and temperature is due to the influence of the Gulf Stream. The southeastern winds carry the warmth and moisture to Britain. The climate in Britain is usually described as cool, temperate, and humid. It's often foggy in Great Britain.
The weather is so changeable that the English often say that they have no climate but only weather.
Sometimes it rains so heavily that they say: "It rains cats and dogs". Rainfall is more or less-equal throughout the year. In the mountains there is heavier rainfall than in the plains of the south and the east. The driest period is from March to June and the wettest months are from October to January.
The average range of temperature (from winter to summer) is from 5 to 23 °С above zero. In the south of the country the temperature sometimes rises above 30 degrees. Winter temperatures below 10 °С are rare. It seldom snows heavily, frost is rare. January and February are usually the coldest months, July and August are the warmest months. The wind may bring winter cold in spring or summer. Sometimes it brings whirlwinds or hurricanes. Droughts are rare.
So, we may say that the British climate has three main features: it is mild, humid and changeable. That means that it is never too hot or too cold. Winters are extremely mild. Snow may come but it melts quickly. This humid and mild climate is good for plants. Trees and llowers begin to blossom early in spring.

London is the capital of Great Britain, its political, economic and commercial centre. It is one of the largest cities in the world and the largest city in Europe. Its population is about-8 million.
London is divided into several parts: the City, Westminster, the West End, and the East End.
The heart of London is the City, its financial and business centre. Numerous banks, offices, and firms are situated there, including the Bank of England, the Stock Exchange and the Old Bailey. Few people live here, but every day over a million people come to the City to work. There are some famous ancient buildings within the City. Perhaps the most striking of them is the St. Paul's Cathedral, the greatest of English churches. It was built in the 17th century by Sir Christopher Wren. The Tower of London was founded by Julius Caesar and in 1066 rebuilt by William the Conqueror. It was used as a fortress, a royalpalace and a prison. Now it is a museum.
Westminster is the governmental part of London.
Nearly all English kings and queens have been crowned in
Westminster Abbey. Many outstanding statesmen, scientists, writers, poets and painters are buried here: Newton, Darwin, Chaucer, Dickens, Tennyson, Kipling and others.
Across the road from Westminster Abbey is Westminster Palace, the seat of the British Parliament. The clock tower of the Houses of Parliament is famous for its big bell, known as Big Ben. Buckingham Palace is the official residence of the Queen.
