On this page is english topic on this topic SEASONS OF THE YEAR AND THE WEATHER

I’d like to say that the weather in Russia depends greatly on the climatic conditions in the eastern part of the European continent. In England, for example, it depends on the sea and they say that they have no climate, only weather as it may change several times during the day. Perhaps for this reason the weather topic is favorite with the English and is at the same time a good conversation starter.

Here in Russia we don't talk much of the weather, we just take it as it is. There are four definitely marked seasons here which differ considerably from each other. In general the climate in Russia can be characterized as moderately continental. It means that winters are fairly cold and summers are moderately hot. Though, of course, there may be exceptions.

Although each season lasts three months, in reality some of the seasons are longer and some are shorter. The longest in Russia is winter. Snow may fall as early as November and may not melt as late as the end of March. Summer on the contrary is the shortest season. It becomes really warm somewhere late in June. Late August is often rainy and cool as if warning that autumn is near.

Every season is good in its own way. And every season has its own negative features. Consider autumn for instance. It is the time when nature fades away. The days grow shorter. Cold weather sets in. Hoar frost covers the ground at night. It rains. Some autumn days may be really nasty when it doesn't stop raining for days or even weeks. But in spite of all this I like autumn. It's the period when the leaves are of beautiful colors from yellow to dark red. It's the time of harvest and a splendid variety of fruit and vegetables that only autumn can offer.

Winter in Russia usually comes in November. At this time the countryside looks gloomy, calm and still. Snow covers up the ground and the roofs of the houses. On frosty days the branches of the trees are feathered with snow. In winter the sky is often gray and cloudy and it sometimes gets rather depressing and boring. Maybe one of the most unpleasant things about winter is that the sun sets early and rises late. The days are short and most people spend long dark winter evenings at home.

Summer comes in June and lasts usually till the end of August. The average temperature in summer is about 20-22 degrees above zero. Everyone would agree that summer is by far the best loved season. Who doesn't enjoy bathing on a hot day in a cool river, picking mushrooms in the forest, basking in the sun on the beach and so on. I am crazy about things like this. But the main thing is certainly having a two-month holiday. It is great fun for schoolchildren.

And yet, the best season of the year for me is spring. I love spring. It is the time when nature comes to life again after its winter rest. Everything around is in bloom. The first flowers appear, trees put on new green leaves and everything is fresh and fragrant. In May cherry and apple trees burst into blossom and it's a breath-taking sight. So in spring the nature starts living anew. I enjoy long walks in the country when everything is green. I share the opinion of those who say that spring is the season of love, hope and happiness.

In my view a person's life depends to a certain degree on the climatic conditions he lives in. Though the English say "There's no bad weather, there are bad clothes", in reality bad weather influences our mood, emotions and even the physical state. Moreover, the economy of whole countries and their agriculture are determined by the climate.

As we live in the eastern part of Europe, the seasons here have their own specific features, both attractive and unpleasant. Let's take autumn, for instance, when the nature fades away. The days grow shorter and nights become longer. The leaves turn yellow and fall to the ground. Gradually its gets colder and colder. But worst of all is rain and drizzle. There are days when it rains for a while then the rain stops, but soon it starts again - and this goes on throughout the day. All these things are well-known and nobody can say he likes them.

Yet there are many people who like autumn. They try to look at the bright side of this season. They see autumn as the time of golden leaves, when the nature is quiet and attractive. Poets of all nations have sung autumn as the most beautiful time of the year. Golden autumn, they call it, and it's really fantastic when the Indian summer sets in. I love that short spell of dry sunny weather when the sky is blue and cloudless, the trees around are golden, the air is transparent and it is still warm. Lord Byron, unlike Pushkin, didn't like autumn. So once he said: "I like the weather, when it's not raining. That is, I like two months of every year. They are certainly not autumn months. Autumn with rain and drizzle doesn't appeal to me either.

I like winter much better. In my opinion the white kingdom of winter is wonderful. At this time nature is having a rest. Snow covers up the ground, and the vast fields blanketed with snow which glitters in the sun, look fabulous to me. I admire forests in winter as well. The only disadvantage is that the days are short. Many people stay most of their time inside, though many of them do winter sports like skiing or skating. I usually make myself comfortable in front of the TV set on cold winter evenings. But at the same time there is no denying the fact that winter is a hard time. Think of severe frosts and long dark nights when the wind is howling outside. But as we know neither good nor bad things last forever. Winter is always followed by spring and then summer.

Summer usually lasts for three months in Russia. The warmest is July. It's never too hot or too cold here in summer. But last summer was unusually cool with many rainfalls and storms. The temperatures didn't go above 20°.

Although summer is the best and the happiest season for most people, my favorite season is spring. It is the time when nature changes from gray to green and from cold to warm. Spring comes rather late in Belarus. March is cold and April is usually cool and rainy but May is really beautiful, especially when the trees are in blossom. I love spring, it makes me feel more cheerful and active. And in conclusion, I want to say again that every season is beautiful and attractive in its own way and we never stop wondering at the nature’s wisdom and harmony.

The basis of sentences in English about the weather

When we talk about the weather in English, we use some common structures:

It + be (is, will be, etc.) + (adjective) = description of the weather. For example: It is a windy day. It's stuffy air. It's rainy season. What's the weather today? – The weather is sunny.
It + be ( , was, be, etc.) + a + adjective (adjective) + noun (noun) (day, morning, afternoon, night, etc.). For example: It was a cold day.
There is (there are) + adjective + noun (day, morning, afternoon, night, etc.). For example: There is a warm May evening.

Nouns to adjectives: By adding the letter “y” at the end of an English weather noun, we turn it into an adjective: wind-windy, stuff-stuffy, rain-rainy, sun-sunny, cloud-cloudy, fog-foggy, gloom -gloomy, storm-stormy, ice-icy, drizzle-drizzly, mist-misty, breeze-breezy, frost-frosty.

Consider another rule: It is rain (snow, hail, etc.) is wrong.

The correct way to say it in English is:

It's raining (It's snowing) Or: The rain is falling (The snow is falling down).
It is a rainy day (morning/season).
There is heavy rain.

Weather and climate is an English topic that is often covered in lessons in grades 9, 10 and 11. To make it easier to master it, I bring to your attention a text with a translation and useful phrases that will help to fix this topic.

The condition of the atmosphere in some area in a certain interval of time is called weather. Weather is characterized by elements and phenomena. Weather elements are the following: air temperature, humidity, pressure. There are natural phenomena as well: wind, clouds, atmospheric precipitation. Sometimes the natural phenomena have extraordinary, even catastrophic character, for example, hurricanes, thunder-storms, heavy rains, tornadoes, droughts.

Weather is characterized not only by elements and the phenomenon, but also by their combinations. At an identical temperature, but at different humidity of air, with precipitations or without any precipitations, with the wind or without it weather won't be identical.

Climate influences plants, people and animals. Scientists consider that the climate is now hotter than it was a dozen centuries ago.

The climate in different parts of the world changes a little from year to year. There are some seasons existing and each season has its own characteristics. In different continents seasons have the features and are different.

The climatic conditions that the inhabitants of Foggy Albion face daily have led to the fact that talking about the weather is practically eternal theme in the mouth of the English. Therefore, if you want to speak English fluently and naturally, like a born Briton, then you simply must be able to keep up a conversation about capriciously changeable or, conversely, stubbornly stable weather outside the window. Communication on this topic and we will learn in today's lesson. Find out what words describe the weather on English language, we will learn popular phrases and analyze the principle of their construction, as well as work through the studied information in the form of a dialogue.

For the first time, a description of the weather in English occurs to us back in primary school. Often in the classroom, the teacher builds small dialogues with the children about what the weather is like today and how the children feel about it. Thus, students repeat the learned vocabulary, and also gradually get used to feeling confident in a conversation in a foreign language.

When studying today's material, we will try to adhere to a similar tactic: first, we will study the grammatical and lexical basis, and then we will practice in "live" speech, i.e. we will strive to build our own dialogue about any weather in English. So, let's look at a few small rules.

Important grammar points

In order to make a simple expression about the weather in English, you need to use the grammatical construction it is . When translated into Russian, such phrases are translated as short impersonal sentences. It is windyWindy. It is sunnySunny. It is coldCold.
The pronoun it is also used as a subject when referring to weather phenomena characteristic of a particular season or occurring in this moment time. Notice the difference in the context of the sentences for the Present Simple and Present Continuous aspects.

Itissnowingoutside- It is snowing outside (weather today, right now).
ItrainsinautumninPrague– It is rainy in Prague in autumn (a seasonal phenomenon).

The noun weather (weather) in English is always used with the definite article the. If there is an adjective before the noun, the article is not required.

The weather is getting colderBecomescooler.
Does she like cold weather? -To herlikecoldweather?

Vocabulary expressing natural phenomena, as a rule, is used without the article. But it should be borne in mind that when designating a location, English requires the use of the definite article the.

JacklikessnowJack loves snow.
My dog likes to lie in the sunMydogloveslieonSun.

Knowledge of these norms is necessary for grammatical correct construction weather report in english. Now let's get acquainted with the lexical part of the material.

There are five climatic zones on this planet: the equatorial climate zone, the tropical climate zone, the temperate climatic zone, Arctic and Antarctic climate belts.
Our country is in the temperate climatic zone. Average temperature is 12-13 degrees above zero (Celsius) here.
The weather is the thing we always talk about. In Great Britain if people don't know what talk about they talk about the weather. It often changes and cold brings and misty, sunshine and rain, frost and snow.
In summer the sun shines, often there is no wind and there are no clouds in the sky which is blue and beautiful. We can see stars and the moon at night and people like walks, outdoor games and sports in the fresh air. It "s usually 18-20 degrees above zero (Celsius).

When autumn comes, the days become shorter and colder. It gets dark earlier and often heavy clouds cover the sky bringing rain with them. Sometimes there is heavy rain, so that an umbrella or a raincoat is necessary if we don't want to get wet through. Then you can hear people say, "What bad weather! When is this rain going to stop?" Many people then catch cold and must go to bed. Then a fire at home is so pleasant. And in autumn the temperate is usually 5-15 above zero degrees (Celsius).
At last frost and snow come. Fields, forests and houses are covered with snow and rivers and lakes with ice. In winter people enjoy skiing, skating and sledging. Children like to play snowballs. The temperate is usually 5-20 below zero degrees (Celsius).
But spring again brings sunshine and warm winds. Sometimes it snows but snow will not remain long, it will melt in the warm sun." Spring will bring bright sunshine, green grass and flowers. The temperate is usually 13-14 above zero degrees (Celsius).
But the weather is very different, and we can know about tomorrow weather from weather forecasts.
We get wet through when we are caught in a rainstorm without a coat. Sometimes we put on a sweater and then find that the weather has become hot. We do not always know what weather to expect.
On TV and radio there are daily weather forecasts. Sometimes, the forecast is not quite right as the weather is not an easy thing to forecast.
All day and night, weathermen are collecting information from ships, planes, weather stations, and space stations. With the help of this information, they can understand what the weather will be like during the next few days. As a result of the weathermen's work we learn about the weather.
Although no two days will have exactly the same weather, some types of weather people can forecast. When a barometer shows high pressure, the weather will be calm. In winter it will be cold and frosty. In summer it usually means misty mornings and hot sunny days. When the barometer shows low pressure, look out for rain and strong winds.
People invented many proverbs and sayings about weather. This is some of them: When the wind is west the weather is always best. When the wind "s in the south, the rain" s in its mouth.
If you don't like the weather in New England, just wait a few minutes.
A lot of professions are dependent on the weather. For example: vet, farmer and others.

So we cannot live without weather, because practically all of our plans depend of weather. But without it our life will be very-very bored and routine.
