Weather in the UK

The weather affects everyone, and everyone has something to say about the weather. This is
especially true in a country like the UK that has very changeable weather. In the UK the
weather from one day to the next can be completely different, or even from the morning to
the afternoon. The weather can change from being rainy one day to sunny the next, or from
strong wind and gales in the morning to snow in the afternoon.
In the UK there are four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the weather is
different in each of them. However, there is not a sudden change between the seasons. The
end of the winter season is the same as the start of the spring season. It takes several weeks
for the weather to change enough for people to notice the difference.
The summer is the season with the best weather. In general, it is hot and sunny with only a
little rain sometimes. However, it can sometimes be cold and wet for one or two weeks at a
time. British people like to spend a lot of time outside when it is nice in the summer. After
the summer is the autumn. In this season the weather gets colder and there are stronger
winds, also it will rain more. All the leaves will start to fall off the trees as it is cold. Frost
might start to form on the ground towards the end of the autumn.
Winter is the coldest season in the UK. The temperature will often be at zero degrees
Celsius. This means that ice will often form on the ground overnight where there were
puddles. This makes it difficult to walk sometimes. There might also be snow, but the UK
does not get much snow, mainly just cold rain in the winter. Then when winter ends and the
spring starts. The temperature will start to get warmer, and the winds will not be as strong.
Plants start to grow again and new leaves form. It is always nice when the spring starts as it
means the nice weather in the summer is nearly back again.
Many people in the UK complain about the weather, but as the weather changes so much, it
is very interesting and gives the people something to talk about all year round.
Question 26. How is the weather in the UK described?
A. fixed B. unchanged C. unstable D. mild
Question 27. How long does it take people to notice the difference in weather?
A. a few weeks B. many weeks C. a few months D. a lot of years
Question 28. Which season is the least warm one?
A. spring B. autumn C. summer D. winter
Question 29. When winter ends and the spring starts, what happens to the temperature?
A. It will start to get warmer, and the winds will not be as strong.
B. It will start to get cooler, and the winds will not be as strong.
C. It will start to get less warm, and the winds will not be as weak.
D. It will start to get less windy, and the winds will not be as weak.
