Unpredictability:The British Climate

In the UK,during the peak winter seems  as if beauty has surpassed the zenith.It's the reality not a myth.When snow falls it resembles like an Christian bride roams shattering her white-transparent veil with diamonds knotted within.After the snowfall,in the dawn ,it resembles to be an ivory wedding gown,the queen has wrapped on her.  I landed in the UK,during the peak winter.Coming from India which is partially tropical,it made me feel as if somebody has put me inside a refrigerator.But houses are warmer due to the room heaters which made me  survive. Due to this type of climatic condition  the houses have sloping roofs,so that snow will trickle down to the surface easily.People use overcoats,caps,gloves,socks,shoes,legwarmers,hand-warmers to protect themselves during winter.
Here winter overshadows the summer.So here summer is for a short-span of time.In the true sense of the term,when the English summer approaches,the sun is beautified through its glorious rays.The wave of joy is spitted everywhere,as if man has discovered the oasis in the dessert .Is he getting a 'kiss of life'?Now common people become the free bird.They compel others to be mesmerized  with the brilliance of colors and designs of their clothes.Their freedom gives tranquility to their soul .Here mass looks like models.
This sunny summer is unpredictable.Over-all  weather is unpredictable.At any point of time it might be showering ,drizzling.Never it rains cats-and dogs. Weather continuously changes even in a day.
This unpredictability of climate is due to the earth's rotation and UK's location in the global context.The earth rotates with its equator whizzing around 1700 km per hr.The UK lies within the broad-outline of latitudes  49° to  61° N and longitudes and  9° W to  2° E.The English channel separates the island from the Atlantic ocean is very often known as the 'arm of the Atlantic ocean'.
The changeability of the British weather is the consequence of  the war between two types of air.The cold polar air and the warm tropical air collides and tries to push each other.As the island comes under the dual climatic system and the weather is spontaneously structured like this,i.e change is the only constant.It is like the vicious circle.That's why the British winter is sometimes cold and dry or might be mild and wet.On the other hand the English summer is very rarely observed with wildness and serenity simultaneously.It is very often accompanied by mild showers and cloudiness.Summer recklessly changes here .It is quite momentary.When the galvanized sun comes into picture soul is hilarious with its tranquility.
