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.

If you don＇t take an umbrella or a raincoat, you will regret (后悔) later in the day. Why do people in England often talk about the weather?
