USEFUL INFORMATION
Weather in the UK
Climate and clothing
The weather in the UK is notoriously changeable. You should expect
prolonged cold and rain and weeks of overcast weather during winter, usu-
ally from November to March. It is extremely important to keep warmly
dressed and to use hats, scarves and gloves. It gets dark quite early in the
autumn and winter months. Seasons can start at different times each year,
which can be confusing
British summers are mild, with a fair amount of dry, sunny weather
but some rainstorms. The average July temperature in London is 17.6 C.
Weather in the US
In the US temperature is measured in degrees Farenheit. To convert
Farenheit to Centigrade (Celsius), subtract 32 and divide by 1.8. To convert
Centigrade to Farenheit, multiply 1.8 (9/5) and add 32.
