the common ideas people have about the weather in britain are: "it rains all the time, it's very damp"; "there's a terrible fog in london, just like in sherlok holmes'", "the sun never shines in july or august".

britain has a variable climate. the weather changes so frequently that it is difficult to forcast. it is not unusual for people to complain that the weathermen were wrong. fortunately, as britain does not experience extreme weather conditions, it is never very cold or very hot. the temperature rarely rises above 32°c (dot) in summer, or falls below 10°c (14°f) in winter.

summers are generally cool, but due to global warming they are starting drier and hotter. newspapers during a hot spell talk of "heatwaves" and an "indian summer" (dry, hot weather in september and october). hot weather causes terrible congestion on the roads as britons rush to the coastal resorts. winters are generally mild, with the most frequent and prolonged snowfalls in the scottish highlands, where it is possible to go skiing. if it does snow heavily in other parts of britain, the country often comes to a standstill. trains, buses and planes are late. people enjoy discussing the snow, complaining about the cold and comparing the weather conditions with previous winters.

since the 1950's, most british cities have introduced clean air zones. factories and houses cannot burn coal and must use smokeless fuel. the dirt caused by smoke used to cause terrible fogs, particularly in london. such fogs are now a thing of the past, but you can still see them in old films where they add
