The seasons and the weather 
1 
In Britain, the weather is very varied; people never know what it 
will be like the next day. 
The summer is warmer than the winter, but even in summer the 
average temperature is only 16 degrees. Sometimes the sun shines, but 
at other times the sky is covered in cloud and it often rains. 
In winter it is sometimes very cold, especially in the north of the

country. The temperature may fall below 0, and then there is often 
snow and ice. 
The best season of the year is probably late spring. At this time of 
year the weather is often sunny and quite warm; the countryside looks 
very green, and there are wild flowers everywhere.

Uzbekistan is situated in Central Asia between two rivers the 
Amu-Darya and Sir-Darya. People call it “Sunny Uzbekistan” because 
of its sunny climate. 
Summer in Uzbekistan is very hot; sometimes the temperature 
reaches more than 40 degrees. It is also very dry. It is hot in the day-
time and cool at night. Such weather is very good for growing cotton. 
Autumn in Uzbekistan is the best season of the year. As a rule 
September is very fine here. There are red and yellow leaves on the 
ground. The days are warm though it is rather fresh at night. 
In October it begins raining and it gets much cooler than in 
September. In November it is sometimes very cold. A lot of fruits 
ripen in autumn.  
We do not usually have much snow in Uzbekistan in winter and 
when it does come it melts soon. It often rains and drizzles in winter.  
In March it gets warmer. Trees all break into blossom. In May 
water in rivers gets warm and it is pleasant to bathe in it. Spring in 
Uzbekistan is a fine season. But it is very short. Already in May it gets 
hot and people wear summer clothes.
