35 °C (95 °F). The prevailing wind is from the
south-west and bears frequent spells of mild
and wet weather from the Atlantic
Ocean,although the eastern parts are mostly
sheltered from this wind since the majority
of the rain falls over the western regions the
eastern parts are therefore the driest.
Atlantic currents, warmed by the Gulf
Stream, bring mild winters; especially in the
west where winters are wet and even more so
over high ground. Summers are warmest in
the south-east of England, being closest to
the European mainland, and coolest in the
north. Heavy snowfall can occur in winter and
early spring on high ground, and occasionally
settles to great depth away from the hills.

Severn. Other rivers
include Thames, Tees,
Tyne and Avon. The

steep hills and valleys.
