In England, people often talk about the weather because they can experience four seasons in a day. In the morning the weather is warm just like in spring. An hour later black clouds come and then it rains hard. The weather gets a little cold. In the late afternoon the sky will be sunny, the sun will begin to shine and it will be summer at this time of a day.
In England, people can also have summer in winter, or have winter in summer. So in winter they can swim sometimes and in summer sometimes they should wear warm clothes.
When you go to England, you will see that some English people usually take an umbrella or a raincoat with them in the summer morning, but you should not laugh at them.
