"Other countries have a climate, but in England we have weather," Englishmen often say. They believe that what happens in England is not the same as what happens in other places. Any foreigner staying in the country for some days will be sure of the truth of the words.
Only in England, it is said, one can go through four seasons in one day. The day may begin as a gentle spring morning. An hour or so later black clouds may appear and it may rain heavily. At noon it may become winter and the temperature may drop by eight or more degrees. And then in the late afternoon the sky will clear up, and the sun will begin to shine, and for an hour or two before darkness falls, it will be summer.
In England, one can go through almost every kind of weather except the best or the worst. Some foreigners seem to think that the country is covered by fog for ten months of the year, but this is not true. We never know when the different kinds of weather will occur. Not only we get a few different kinds of weather in one day, but also we may get winter weather in summer and summer weather in winter.
