The weather can be very different in each region.
The wettest parts are Wales & Nothern Ireland (and the rest of Ireland, although that's not part of Britain) . Scotland can have some very cold and inclement weather and I think it snows more on the West than the East.
The South of England is warmer, but the South West , especially South Devon , is usually always warmest. The Torbay area has its own micro-climate and can be very hot even when the rest of the area or country is having wet weather.
And that's the end of the weather forecast, now the news headlines again.........
Yes that's probably more or less it for the British Isles. The further west you go the wetter it generally is (ask anyone from the West of Ireland). On the other hand, the east of England and of Scotland may be drier (though in these island's that's a relative term!) but they are further from the gulf stream and so are generally colder. It also generally gets warmer from north to south of course as well. Wherever you are, though, you are really at the mercy of the Atlantic and (in summer) the jet stream. Sometimes they are kind, sometimes not. You can get summers that last for ever and summers that never even get started, like this one. However late spring and early autumn this year have both been really good - until yesterday that is, and Scotland, where the golf was, was worst hit! Here in the London area there was a bit of wind and it was a bit dull, but nothing like Scotland and North East England.
Most of the time the weather in these islands is a daily mystery hidden even from our meteorologists - they rarely seem to get it right. Except for the odd freak winter like 1963 or the rare immoveable high pressure in summer that gives weeks on end of sunshine, it doesn't get
really cold, and it doesn't get
really hot for any length of time. Snow generally is gone after a day or two, and some parts of the west hardly ever see it. I disagree that the west gets most snow - it seems to be most likely in a strip down the eastern side of the country within a few miles of the sea. But then, there's hardly a single thing you can say about our weather that you can't contradict in the next sentence. We tend not to get extremes but considering we're hardly bigger than most American states when all put together (and smaller than many), we get a lot of weather. That's why we talk about it so much I suppose.
