Compared with other countries of a similar latitude the climate of England is mild and wet, due mainly to its closeness to the Atlantic Ocean and the effect of the Gulf Stream.

Although England has the reputation of being an extremely dreary country that is constantly inundated with rain, this is not exactly true. Yes, England has more rain than Italy and the temperature is comparatively cold, but the weather also varies by region.

Southern England is generally sunny with mild winters and cool summers. If you were to visit London in summer, than you would probably experience temperatures between the lower sixties and mid seventies with several days of rain. In winter, the temperatures would probably be in the lower to mid forties with rain. It rarely snows in England, 2010 being an exception.

Northern England is a different story with much cooler weather (though not much more snow) and much more rain. The reputation of dreary English weather is more true for the north than the south.

For accurate information on the weather in the UK it is worth visiting the UK Met Office website. Please see the related links for details of the current UK weather forecast and also for UK climate statistics.
