Temperatures vary according to the seasons but they do not go below -11 degrees or exceed 35 degrees very rarely. The prevailing wind comes from the Southwest and regularly brings fresh and wet breezes from the Atlantic Ocean. Atlantic currents make winters mild especially in the West where winters are wet. The hottest summers are in South East England, from July to August as it is the closest region of the continent. The North of the United Kingdom is cooler. Heavy snowfall can occur in winter or early spring.<\/p>\n The climate in Britain is very temperate, so there is no dry, wet season and extreme temperatures are exceptional. The 4 seasons are spring, summer, autumn and winter. They are obviously distinct but are quite similar which avoids abrupt climate changes.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding=”22px|50px|22px|50px” custom_padding_tablet=”0px|0px|0px|0px” custom_padding_phone=”0px|0px|0px|0px” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”3.25″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.25.4″ text_font=”Nunito||||||||” text_text_color=”#0b275e” header_2_font=”Nunito Sans|700||||on|||” header_2_text_align=”left” header_2_text_color=”#37b0cd” header_2_font_size=”28px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” text_orientation=”justified”]<\/p>\n The best times to go to the UK<\/span><\/p>\n The best months to visit the UK are in May, June, September and October.
