The United Kingdom is located in the northern temperate zone，which includes Europe，Northern Asia，and North and Central America.In the temperate zone，the sun is never directly overhead，and the climate is mild，generally ranging from warm to cool.Although the latitude is as far north as that of Siberia，the United Kingdom enjoys a mild climate due to the North Atlantic Drift，which is a continuation of a warm current that flows from the Gulf of Mexico in a northeasterly direction.It flows past Britain.

Generally speaking，it is colder in the north than in the south and the western coast tends to be warmer than the east.The hottest months are from June to August.Summer temperatures usually average around 20℃，with the highest generally not exceeding 32℃.Autumn，as in other regions of the world，is the main harvest season.

The coldest months in Great Britain are from December to February.The average daily low temperature in January is around 0℃，and seldom falls below－10℃even in northern Scotland.England usually receives little snow，but in the Highlands of Scotland，there is often enough snowfall for skiing.

Great Britain receives abundant rainfall because winds blowing off the Atlantic Ocean bring clouds and large amounts of moisture to the British Isles.The country enjoys an average annual precipitation of more than 1，000mm，which makes the landscape unusually green.On the whole，the south and east receive an annual precipitation of less than 800 millimeters on average，making them drier than the north and west which get more than 1，600 millimeters of rainfall annually.Generally speaking，the driest time of the year is from April to June，but it rains all year round in the west.Great Britain has highly changeable weather which is difficult for even the most experienced meteorologist to predict.Because of this，the weather is a frequent topic of discussion throughout the country，and British people often store multiple umbrellas in different places they often go—typically their home，their workplace，and their favorite pub—so as to be prepared for unexpected rain.
