I Read and translate the text: THE BRITISH ABOUT THE BRITISH WEATHER

  The English weather on the whole is not good. It’s very damp, we have a lot of rain. Our weather is very changeable: a fine morning may change into a wet afternoon and evening. But it’s not usually as cold in Britain as it is in Russia or Canada. It doesn’t usually get very cold in winter or very hot in summer. Summer months are often cool, there is always plenty of rain. Sometimes it rains so heavily that the British say “It’s raining cats and dogs.” Planning summer holidays is not easy because you can never depend on the weather. One year June may be hot and sunny and July and August rainy, another year it might be the other way round. So many people go abroad for their holidays, though there are so many lovely beaches on the English coast. The English winter is not cold. The temperature seldom falls below 3 – 4 degrees. The air is damp and foggy. It often rains and it seldom snows. Autumn is the season of foggy, windy days. Spring is a warm and beautiful season. The weather in spring however, is changeable, and even if the sky is blue without a single cloud in the morning there is no guarantee that it may not rain within a short time. It is always wise to take an umbrella. No conversation ever starts in England without a comment on the weather. It is almost a formality like shaking hands. “Nice day today, isn’t it?”, “Isn’t it hot today?”, “Shocking weather, isn’t it?” – these remarks are often used when speaking about the weather.
