Climate
England has been stereotyped as having a cold, murky and rainy climate since ancient Rome wrote home, but this is not an entirely accurate picture. Temperatures rarely get very cold or very hot, and while the country certainly gets rain, it's actually not as humid as it is rumored. London has less annual rainfall than Paris, New York and Sydney, and it's not uncommon for other parts of the country to go weeks without rain. Areas of southern England often have water restrictions in the summer due to a lack of adequate rain the previous winter. There are several ranges to leave your raincoat at home, but make sure you've got one.
The north and west areas are generally wetter than the rest of England due to prevailing winds from the northwest bringing cold moist air down from the North Atlantic, and the sunniest and hottest areas is in the far south and southeast.
Winter and fall are usually the wettest seasons, when the weather is often very changeable and sometimes quite windy, especially in the north and west, where cold arctic winds come in. Spring conditions are variable: a hot, sunny day is unlikely to be followed by a week of cold winds and rain, and vice versa. The occasional snowfall even as late as late May is not unheard of in the north of England, but it does melt quickly. Snow is especially rare in the southeast. Summers are generally warm in the South with average highs usually ranging from 18-23 degrees Celsius.

It is used by 0.1% of the population in Cornwall, and is taught to some degree in many primary and secondary schools. State schools teach students a second language, usually French, German or Spanish. Because of immigration, it was announced in 2007 that about 800,000 students in schools speak a foreign language at home, the most common being Punjabi and Urdu.
