Weather and climate

From my point of view a person’s life depends to a certain on the weather and climate. The agriculture, the national cuisine, the clothes we wear, the types of houses we live in all these depend on the climate and weather. Moreover our mood often depends on the weather. If the weather is sunny and bright we feel happy and cheerful but if the weather is gloomy a lot of people feel depressed. Every day many people listen to weather forecasts to make up their minds on what clothes to wear and whether or not to take an umbrella with them.

Unfortunately there are also natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts, floods, avalanches, storms that badly affect people’s lives.

The climate in Belarus is moderately continental. It means winters are fairly cold and summers are moderately hot. The annual average temperature is about 7 °C. The climate of Great Britain is moderate and mild due to the influence of the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. The weather in Britain is very changeable and the English even say they have no climate but only weather which has become a favorite topic of conversation.

As for me, winter is the best season. First of all, I really enjoy the crisp of snow outside. Together with my friends we always make a snowman, throw snowballs at each other and roll in the snow. Secondly, I’m quite good at such winter sports as skiing and skating. I love moments when all the stores and cafes outside start hanging festive decorations on doors and windows. And this New year’s vanity gives unusual mood. I really like it.

To sum it up, I’d like to say that climate is the weather a certain place has over a long period of time. Climate has a very important influence on plants, animals and humans and is different in different parts of the world. Some scientists think that the world is becoming hotter.
