the Climate of the Great Britain

the Great Britain, especially Scotland, name the country of fogs and rains. Even at inhabitants of foggy Albion on lips a by-word: In Manchester it is raining. Actually all not so is sad: at least the summer when the country is attent by the majority of tourists, pleases with clear solar weather is more often, than grieves with slow soaking rains. All depends on a season and from in what part of the country there will be a traveller.

The Island rule and warm Atlantic flow Gulf Stream defines a climate of the Great Britain: soft and wet, oceanic. On plains average temperatures of the coldest month of year, January, compound 3-7 °C, July temperatures fluctuate in limits 11-17 °C; an annual precipitation - 600-750 the mm, their big part falls out in the form of rains from September till January. The wettest cities - Liverpool and Manchester, rains here go 220-230 days to Manchester became textile capital of the country not casually: an atmospheric humidity was necessary for manufacture of high-quality woollen cloths at old production engineering of their manufacturing. In London too it is a lot of rainy days - 180 in a year, but it does not mean, that the rain goes all day long. In the spring and in the summer weather is changeable, and rain clouds are sweepingly replaced by the blazing sun.

the Another matter in mounts, especially in the north - in Scotland: here frosts in the winter are usual, and snow on many slopes lays from November till April-May. At apexes and slopes of the mounts paid to the sea, in many places of coasts of a cold are aggravated with constant winds.
