    ______The weather in the capital varies constantly during the day, and although the
    temperatures are not usually extreme, it is common to get rain, sunshine, clouds, and more rain
    on the same day. Rain is frequent during the whole year, so it’s a good idea to always carry an
    umbrella or raincoat when visiting the city. Although in London it rains quite often, it is usually
    drizzle, which normally means, you’ll still be able to continue your sightseeing.
    It has a mild temperature all year round and during the winter months (from December to March
    approximately). It is unusual to get temperatures below freezing.
    The summers are usually warm and sometimes can be hot. The sunniest months are July and
    August. However, it is also very likely to rain during these months, so always take an umbrella
    with you.
    ______Located in southern part of the continent and due to the distance from the sea as well as
    its higher elevation, the capital city features four full seasons. The city has a climate that is
    comparable to the states in the northern part of the United States. The weather in Canberra is also
    similar to the American plains, with hot but dry summers, and equally cold winters. Snowfall
    isn’t as common however, and when it does snow it doesn’t generally last.
    Summer is from late December until late March, and January and February are the warmest
    months.
    The rainy season is in the spring and the hottest month, January can also be quite wet. The
    storms in the summer however are quick and passing. The winters are cold and if you’re visiting
    in July and August you should plan accordingly, and take warm clothes with you.
    ______The capital has a semi-continental climate, with a warm, humid summer and a very cold
    winter. Winters in Ottawa are severe, snow depths of greater than 1 cm are seen on about 120
    days each year. It is very cold and all you need are warm clothes, hats, mitts and boots.
    Ottawa, like other cities in Ontario, enjoys a sunny climate. Summers usually have a generous
    number of warm or hot sunny days. Winters are rather less sunny than in the rest of the country.
    Ottawa’s day-to day-weather can be changeable during the year.
