England is an island country and its territory isn't very large. That's why there is no wide range of climatic conditions in this country. Weather conditions in England are much like those of the Baltic States. There are some features common to the climate of this country as a whole: the climate is mild, wet and the weather is changeable.

The weather really very often changes in England. They seldom have the same kind of weather for a long time. This is because of the Atlantic Ocean. The winds blowing from the Atlantic are warm and wet. They bring plenty of rain to the island.

Summer is generally mild and warm in England though it sometimes happens to be hot but not really very often. More often however sunshine and rain follow each other so many times during the day that it is better not to leave your raincoat at home.

As to winter, it is also generally mild in England. They seldom have very low temperatures there. However here again we must say about the weather changeability .In winter they have all sorts of weather. Sometimes it rains and sometimes it snows and they also have thick fogs and sometimes hard frosts, though not very often, indeed. Hardly anyone can say that the winter weather is pleasant in England and you often feel really cold there. However they never have much snow and many frosty days there. Winter days are short and it gets dark at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Spring is a lovely season of the year in England, however, they sometimes have really cold days when it is raining heavily and cold winds are blowing from the north.

People everywhere like to talk about the weather, but foreigners are often amused that the English spend so much time discussing the weather! The weather has often been the most important influence of all. Even Francis Bacon noted that the English usually talk first about the weather. For centuries, indeed, the ups and downs of English prices – and incomes – were affected by the weather more than by any other factor. That's why a very good beginning for a talk in England is "Isn't the weather nice today?" “Nice and bright this morning!" or "It's good to see the sun again!"
