1 Match these descriptions to the zones on the map.
Britain is made up of islands — two big ones and some
very small ones. It is important for the fishermen who
work in the waters around the British Isles to know what
kind of weather there is in each area of the sea.
‘… and now the weather forecast for the inland seas of the
British Isles, from today at 14:00 GMT until tomorrow
morning. The worst weather will be in (a) _______, where
there will be heavy storms with lightning and thunder and
a lot of rain and strong winds. In (b) _______ there are
also very strong winds and rain, and there will be some
storms with fog, too, but it will not be as bad as in
Viking. Also in the north, in (c) _______, things are a little
better. It isn’t going to rain, and there won’t be much
wind, but there will be very cold temperatures and snow,
even with the sunshine. In the East, in (d) ________, the
weather won’t be as bad as in the north, but there will be
rain and wind. At least there won’t be any storms! The
weather will be a little better in the south. In (e) ________
the winds will be very strong, but it won’t be too cold,
because there will be some sunshine. The best weather for the day will be in (f) _________ where
there will be no rain, just sun and high temperatures, so that’s the best place to be in a boat today.
The most typically British weather today will be in Shannon, where there will be a little bit of
everything, including perhaps, a rainbow at the end of the day. So look out for that, if you are in the
area.
2Now order the areas in Activity 1 from the best to the worst weather in your
opinion.
Best weather a __________ b __________ c __________ d __________
e __________ f __________ Worst weather
3 Write true (T) or false (F).
a In the southeast there will be strong winds. _____
b In the west there will be rain and wind. _____
c In two areas there will be sunshine. _____
d Only one area will have storms. _____
e There will be different kinds of weather in the Irish Sea. _____
f It will be cold in the northwest. _____
4 Imagine you are planning a trip around the British Isles by boat with your friends.
Write about your plans.

Weather
1The British are obsessed with the weather and have lots of poems about it.
Read these five poems and match them to the pictures. Which poem do you like best?
a ______
It’s raining, it’s pouring,
the old man’s snoring
He went to bed
and bumped his head,
And couldn’t get up
in the morning.
b ______
Rain, rain go away
Come again another day.
c ______
Rain on the green grass
Rain on the tree
Rain on the housetop
But not on me.
d ______
Some like it cold
And some like it hot
I like it in between
Cause extremes I like not.
e ______
There are holes in the sky
where the rain gets in
But they’re ever so small
that’s why rain is thin. (Spike Milligan)
2Can you read this poem quickly without making a mistake?
Whether the weather is fine,
Or whether the weather is not,
Whether the weather is cold,
Or whether the weather is hot,
We'll weather the weather,
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not.
