It consists of four parts - England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland - located on islands off the northwest coast of Europe. London is the capital and has a mild climate with cool, cloudy winters and warm summers that rarely see snow. While temperatures vary across regions, the surrounding seas prevent extreme heat or cold and frequent weather changes are common throughout the UK.

    TOPOGRAPHIC AND CLIMATIC FEATURES OF THE UK

    1. The United Kingdom is an island nation located off the northwest coast of continental Europe. The island is
    separated from the continent by the English Channel. The distance from the country’s southeast coast to the
    northern coast of France is only 35 km. It consists of four geographical and historical
    parts: England, Scotland, and Wales, which occupy the island of Great Britain, and Northern Ireland, on the
    island of Ireland. The country’s full name is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
    Sometimes the name Great Britain, or simply Britain, is used for the country as a whole.

    2. The capital of the United Kingdom, London, is one of the world’s leading trade, financial and cultural
    centres. The distance between the Ukrainian and British capitals is 2,415 km. The country, with a
    population of (2022 est.) 67,733,000, is the 78th largest globally with an area of 242,495 km2. The United
    Kingdom is within just one time zone. London Greenwich is located on the prime meridian and is officially
    the zero point of reference for time zones.

    3. The climate of the United Kingdom is temperate oceanic, mild and humid (more humid in Northern Ireland,
    and Scotland, colder and drier). The weather is mainly influenced by the warm oceanic current of the Gulf
    Stream. The sea, surrounding the country from all sides, does not allow the air over land to heat up or cool
    too much. Therefore, sudden temperature changes rarely occur, but the weather conditions change often.

    4. Northern Ireland has a mild, humid climate with mild winters and cool summers. There is less rainfall and
    fewer foggy days than in England.
    Scotland is the coldest region in the UK. The instability of the weather is associated with a varied
    topography, with cold temperatures in mountainous areas reaching 10 degrees below zero in winter and
    heavy fog and rains in the west of the region.

    5. The climate in England is unstable, with frequent fogs and stormy winds. The average temperature varies
    from + 5C in the winter to +16 to +32 in the summer. There is less precipitation in spring, but cold north
    winds blow. The largest amount of precipitation falls in August. In autumn, cyclones prevail and the fog
    begins.
    Wales has a mild and humid climate similar to England. The area of the Snowdon massif is the wettest.

    6. London has a mild and temperate climate. It is warm in summer, but not hot, though temperatures have
    risen in recent years. There are only about 45 foggy days in London, but half of the days are cloudy and
    overcast. Winter is cool but not frosty. On average, the temperature does not drop below 7C. It rarely
    snows. And the average annual rainfall is less than in Rome or Sydney.
