Слайд 53The Climate.
The geographical position is a basic factor in determining
the main characteristics of the climate.
Britain has a generally mild
and temperate climate. The outstanding features of the climate of Britain are its humidity, its mildness and its variability. 
Слайд 54What Influences the Climate?
Gulf Stream is a warm current of
the North Atlantic Ocean.
Prevailing southwesterly winds moving across this warmer
water bring moisture and moderating temperatures to the British Isles.
Слайд 55The British Climate
A warm ocean current, Gulf Stream, washes Britain’s
western shores. This water heats up and cools down very
slowlyBritain enjoys warmer winters and cooler summers than other countries at the same latitude
The west of the island has a higher rainfall and slightly milder climate than the east
In general, temperatures are ordinarily around 15’C in the summer and around 5’C in the winter. Temperature rarely ever exceed 32 degrees C or drop below -10 degrees C anywhere in the British Isles. In general, frost, when the temperature dips below 0 degrees C, is rare.
Average annual precipitation is more than 1,000 mm, varying from the extremes of 5,000 mm in the western Highlands of Scotland to less than 500 mm in the driest parts east Anglia in England.
Слайд 56 Union Jack

Union Jack is made up of three crosses

and institutions and incorporated into the Union Flag.
After the
1800 Act of Union joined Ireland with the Kingdom of Great Britain, the saltire was added to the British flag to form the Union Jack still used by the United Kingdom. Saint Patrick's Cross is rejected by Irish nationalists as a British invention.

The Lake District, in England's northwestern
corner, includes some of the country's most beautiful and varied
landscapes.
