>a mild, wet climate like the UK
Never been there. By "mild" do you mean 'not that cold', relative to other places at the same latitude? Because I thought the UK was pretty cold, although a UK friend told me Germany is colder (generally).
- petepete 7y agoThe climate in the UK is 'cool' but never extreme in either direction. Germany is hotter in the summer and colder in the winter than the UK, mainly due to the UK being an island nation and being in they path of the jet stream.
- lovemenot 7y agoGulf stream, I believe you meant.
- petepete 7y agoYes I did, thanks!
- vram22 7y agoGot it, thanks. >path of the jet stream. As lovemenot said, you probably mean Gulf Stream. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_Stream#Localized_effects https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_Stream#Localized_effects https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_stream https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_stream
- Aromasin 7y agoI'd describe mild as a lack of drastic change in temperature year around. We normally get temperatures between 0C and 20C, with a few outlier days (more so recently - lots of heat waves for obvious reasons...) This changes from North to South, but we rarely get temperatures and crazy weather like you guys in Europe have at the moment.
- vram22 7y agoI'm not from Europe, I'm from India. Other than that, got your points, thanks. That frequent drizzle or rain and also somewhat frequently varying weather I've read about (mainly in kids' stories and later novels with England as the base location), make the UK weather sound interesting. I've lived in places like that, and also in others, where there are well-defined seasons such as wet and dry, hot and cold. I like both kinds.
