CLIMATE

Britain has different climates North, South, East and West as follows:

•NW - cool summers, mild winters, heavy rain

•NE - cool summers, cool winters, relatively dry all year

•SE - warm summers, cold winters, some rain all year especially summer

•SW - warm summers, mild winters, rain all year especially winter

The reason for this is because different air masses come from each direction as follows:•North - Arctic very cold•East - Continental from Europe and Asia•South - Tropical warm•West - Maritime air has crossed Atlantic bringing wet weather

Britain has a variable weather that changes from day to day which means it is difficult to predict. British people usually hold an umbrella… just in case!
