CLIMATE

1.    In the first place the climate varies according to altitude. On the equator at a height of 8,000 metres it is no warmer than in England at sea level. The highest point is the coldest. The higher we ascend the rarer becomes the atmosphere.
2.    Another factor is the effect of ocean currents. Thus the British Isles lie in the way of the warm Golf Stream which tends to raise the temperature of the winter winds and maintain a more or less equal climate all the year round. It is not sufficiently powerful to counteract the full effects of winter but the warm air rising from the Golf Stream surrounds Great Britain and prevents the freezing of the rivers even on the coldest days.
3.    The places nearest the sea have the mildest climate. In spite of lying at the same distance from the equator Moscow and London have a different climate: the average temperature in London is higher than that in Moscow.
4.    The third factor affecting the climate is topography. Although the hills in the south - western part of England hardly ever reach one thousand metres over the sea level a great deal of moisture is left there by the wet winds with the effect that rain is reduced in their locality or does not fall at all. Rain clouds often pass over towns on the coast protected by the hills from the west so that such towns instead of having rainy periods enjoy sunshine and fine weather.
5.    Finally there are the effects of prevailing winds blowing across the Atlantic and carrying warm air, which keeps the winter climate mild, moist and foggy.
