英国气候特点
英国处于欧洲西部，大西洋东岸，为典型的温带海洋性气候。 成因：一方面受中纬度西风（即盛行西风）影响下，常年温和 多雨。 英国雾气较重，主要是岛国的潮气所致。首都伦敦冬季 河湖极少结冰，一月平均气温在4度（摄氏）以上；夏天则相当 凉爽，七月的平均气温17度，早晚外出需加外衣。至于伦敦过 去常见的浓雾，并不完全是自然现象。由于重视环境保护，伦 敦目前出现浓雾的次数已大大减少。 英国虽然气候温和，但天 气多变。一日之内，时晴时雨。多变的天气也为人们提供了经 常的话题，英国昼夜长短的变化特别明显。冬季日短夜长，夏 季则日长夜短。夏季是到英国旅游的最佳季节。夏季日间长， 活动时间多，而且温度适中，天气清爽，人的精神也倍感充沛 。这个季节尽管也有雨，但一般不会连绵不断，影响行程。
