Weather
The climate in the UK is mild but always unpredictable. The weather forecast
does not help you much as it will say that there will be some rain, a bit of
sunny spell and a few place cloudy. Sometimes you experience 3 seasons in
a day. Always take some warm and wet weather clothing with you (and an
umbrella!).
For visitors, the summer is the best season - longer daylight, generally
fine weather and not too hot for traveling (23-25C). The winter tends to
be cold and damp, and the snowy in the north.
Since the British weather changes quickly and often, it is wise to be
prepared for almost anything.
In the last few years, summer temperatures have been higher
than the averages, with London temperatures hitting the 80's (F) for
weeks at a time. Here
are the average temperatures:
