Climate and Geography, Urbanization An introduction to the Climate “ And did those feet, in ancient times, walk upon England’s crowded hills, in England’s green and pleasant land”. ( traditional song - Jerusalem) The climate has played a strong role in the British nation and has had a role to play in history. ? Example: You saw that in 55 BC Julius Caesar’s troops were driven back to France by severe storms, thus saving Britain from another invasion for 100 years. “那些脚，在远古时代，走路后，英格兰的拥挤的山丘，在英格兰的绿色宜人的土地”。 （传统歌曲 - 耶路撒冷） 在英国国家气候方面发挥强有力的作用，并曾在历史上发挥了作用。 例如：你看到，在55个公元前凯撒大帝的军队被赶出法国的风暴，从而节省从另一个入侵英国100年。 Temperate and maritime: Northern latitude (49-55 °N) causes it to have a “temperate” (“mild”) climate (as opposed to cold, sub-tropical, or tropical). The North-East of the USA has a similar “ temperate” climate. Britain has a “maritime” climate (like Brittany in France, or Ireland) as its climate is strongly influenced by the sea. Britain is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the English Channel to the south, and the North Sea to the east. 英国北部的纬度会导致它有一个“温和的”（“轻度”）（而不是冷，分热带或热带）气候。美国东北部有一个类似的“温和”气候。中国北部可能有类似的气候，但，海没有影响。 英国有“海上”气候（如在法国，布列塔尼和爱尔兰），其气候的强烈影响海。英国环绕大西洋，英吉利海峡的西部，南部，东部和北海。 The Gulf Stream  A major effect on the British climate is the warming of the ocean around Western Britain by the Gulf Stream, which is a warm ocean current flowing across the Atlantic from the Gulf of Mexico, warming Britain by 5-8C. (At 49-55°N it should be colder). The air is also moist as it travels and brings with it rainfall. Winds blowing from the sea bring rain to the coast and dry weather to inland areas. This gives Britain a ??mild?? and ??humid?? climate 英国的气候产生重大影响是英国西部周围的海洋变暖的墨西哥湾暖流，这是一个温暖的洋流流经大西洋墨西哥湾，升温英国5-8C。空气也是湿润的，因为它的旅行，并带来与它降雨。从海上吹来的风带来雨水的沿海和内陆地区的干燥天气。 TEMPERATURE AND SEASONS Britain is a land of four distinct seasons – Winter (November to February), Spring (March to May) , Summer (June to August) and Autumn (September to November).
