The Weather

The weather is very popular topic of conversation in Britain because the weather changes a lot.
When the weather is good, people complain that it's too hot.
When it rains, they say it's too wet. When it isn't sunny, they say it's too cold.
The seasons in britain are fairly clear. Winter lasts from December to February, Spring is from March to May. The summer months are June, July and August, then the autumn, September, October, November.
It's not surprising that Britain has got one of the most imporant weather centres in the world. The Met Office employs over a thousand people.
Two huge supercomputers analyse information from many sources including satellites. Scientists at the Met office make weather forecasts for the public and for special purposes
The Met Office also looks at environmental issues such as global  warming and climate change.
The trouble is weather canges vary quickly and so nobody ever believes the weather forecast. They still go out in their shorts and get wet!
