Question

1. текст: Like most of north western Europe, the climate in the United Kingdom is defined as a temperate oceanic climate, consisting of four distinct seasons of fairly equal length - spring, summer, autumn and winter. As this island country is surrounded by seas, it has a varied climate which is hard to predict, meaning that the weather often changes from day to day. It can be sunny one day and rainy the next. In general, the UK has warm summers and cool winters. Even though the rainfall in U.K. is high, the humidity in this country is not as high as might be expected. This is mostly because there are no extremely hot summer temperatures. The average annual humidity goes from 70% in southern England, which is the lowest, to 92% in the central and northern parts of the UK. As the country with the most unpredictable day to day weather, there is no general clothing norm for different seasons. The top recommendation for anyone visiting Great Britain would definitely be layering. The smartest way to cope with this uncertain weather is to prepare both short-sleeved and long-sleeved T-shirts, jumpers and a coat. This way, you can easily put them together in different ways and take them off, if needed. Raincoats and umbrellas are useful items to carry in this rainy country. The United Kingdom has no serious weather or environmental risks. This part of the globe is not known for hurricanes, tsunamis or earthquakes like in eastern Asia or North America. There are no active volcanoes in United Kingdom either. In general, Europe doesn't have any huge environmental risks. The only country that has some active volcanoes is Iceland, which is situated in the middle of two tectonic plates. 2. Ответьте на вопросы 1. Why is the weather in the UK very changeable? 2.

Answer 2

1. The weather in the UK is very changeable because it is an island country surrounded by seas. This means that the climate is influenced by oceanic currents and can result in rapid weather changes from day to day. 2. The humidity in the UK is not as high as expected because there are no extremely hot summer temperatures. High humidity is often associated with hot climates, and since the UK has relatively cool summers, the humidity levels are lower compared to other countries with similar rainfall. 3. Great Britain has a temperate oceanic climate, which means it experiences four distinct seasons of equal length – spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The climate is influenced by the surrounding seas, resulting in mild and damp weather throughout the year. 4. The UK does not have any serious weather or environmental risks. Unlike countries in eastern Asia or North America, it is not prone to hurricanes, tsunamis, or earthquakes. Additionally, there are no active volcanoes in the United Kingdom. Europe as a whole does not have many significant environmental risks, with the exception of Iceland, which has some active volcanoes due to its location between two tectonic plates. 5. The most useful items in the UK, considering the changeable weather, are raincoats and umbrellas. Given the high amount of rainfall in the country, it is essential to have these items to stay dry during rainy days. Comparative degree of adjectives and adverbs: 1.
