章節(jié)摘錄
Given the considerable variations in Britains weather both regionally andhistorically, it is no surprise that there is a great deal of "weather talk" amongthe population. Take the year 2000 for example, which began with the sunniestwinter in England and Wales since 1909, followed by the wettest April since1766, when records began. Parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland then had thedriest July since 1929, before October saw rainfall records broken throughoutthe country. The fall turned out to be the wettest for England and Wales sincerecords began, continuing into the spring of 2001. Historically, there have been many recorded "freak"conditions.For example, on January 21, 1661, Samuel Pepys recorded in his diary: "It isstrange what weather we have had all this winter; no cold at all, but the ways aredusty, and the flyes ("flies" ) fly up and down, and rose bushes are full ofleaves..." On the other hand, on a few occasions, such as in 1683 and 1771, theRiver Thames has frozen, providing an unexpected arena for skating and otheramusements.
