The British climate is generally mild and temperate, with temperatures rarely falling below 10°C or rising above 32°C. The mountainous areas receive more rainfall than other regions. March and June are typically the driest months, while September and January experience the most precipitation on average, due to the moderating influence of the Atlantic Ocean.
