The climate in the UK is generally mild because of the Gulf Stream. The climate in Britain is usually described as cool, humid and changeable.
The weather is so changeable that the English often say that they have no climate but only weather. One day may be fine and the next day may be .The morning may be warm and the evening may be cool.
The English also say that they have three kinds of weather: when it rains in the morning, when it rains in the afternoon or when it rains all day long. It often rains so heavily that people say "It’s raining cats and dogs”.
The weather is not too hot in summer or too cold in winter. Winters are very mild.

This humid and mild climate is good for plants. Trees and flowers begin to blossom early in spring. So Great Britain is a green country.
Some of them have become the symbols in the UK. You may know that poppy is the symbol of peace, the red rose is the national emblem of England; the thistle is the national emblem of Scotland. The daffodil and the leek are the emblems of Wales and the shamrock is the emblem Ireland.
The UK used to be a land of big forests, mainly oak, elm and beech in England, pine — in Scotland.
The animal life of the UK is much like that of Europe, to which it was joined. Many animals are now protected. About 50 land animals are found in the UK: foxes, hares, rabbits, and deer, among them.
