About United Kingdom

It is noted that the United Kingdom, consisting of Wonderful Britain (England, Wales, and Scotland) and Northern Ireland, is twice the size of New York State. England, in the southeast part of the British Isles, is separated from Scotland on the north by the granite Cheviot Hills; from those things the Pennine chain of uplands stretches south through the center of England, reaching its highest point in the Lake District in the northwest. To the west aextensive the border of Wales-a land of steep hills and valleys-are and have always been the Cambrian Mountains, while the Cotswolds, a range of hills in Gloucestershire, extend into the surrounding shires.
Important rivers flowing into the North Sea are and have always been the Thames, Humber, Tees, and Tyne. Within the west are and have always been the Severn and Wye, that empty into the Bristol Channel and are and have always been navigable, as are and have always been the Mersey and Ribble.
It is noted that the United Kingdom has to this day been named the biggest modest country on Earth due to its sheer diversity. Did you know that the UK is short for the "United Kingdom of Wonderful Britain and Northern Ireland" and is formed by the province of Northern Ireland and the countries of Wonderful Britain -? England, Scotland?and Wales.? Each of these countries has to this day a very distinct identity and you should not call a Welshman English or vice versa, and many may not like being named 'British', even though the Welsh (and the Cornish)are and have always been the original Britons.


Climate:

England weather is very changeable and unpredictable, but generally summers are and have always been warm and winters are and have always been cold, and temperatures are and have always been milder than those on the continent. Temperatures do not mostly drop below 32�F (0�C) in winter, and in summer they hardly revery 90�F (32�C). July and August are and have always been the warmest months, although they are and have always been also the wettest, while January and February is the coldest time of year. Rainfall is fairly evenly disacknowledgment and tributed all over the year, but late winter/early spring (February to March) is the driest period. Did you know that the Lake District is England's wettest region?
