The South is generally warmer than the North and the West is wetter then the East. As far as extreme weather, the UK rarely experiences this, there are no hurricanes or typhoons and Britain is not susceptible to any Earthquakes of Volcanic eruptions.

As the clocks go back and forward once a year in March and October, the UK has long summer days and short winter ones, in Scotland there can be up to 18 hours of daylight and twilight lasts all night during the summer.

The main extremes of weather in the UK occur in Scotland, Wales and northern England, over 2000feet in the mountains the weather is wet and cloudy for much of the year with annual rainfall reaching 1500mm and in some places as much as 5,000mm.
