Even if these places are known by having rainy weather, that's not 100% true. After all, as the old saying goes, ‘there is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes’!
SCOTLAND:
    The weather in Scotland actually tends to be quite moderate and changeable, finding that in Spring (March, April, May) the higher temperature is about 12ºC, and the lowest 4ºC. The average hours of daylight: 13 hours; the average rainfall: 55mm. One word to describe forecast: Mochie- warm, moist weather. 

  Summer (June, July, August) the higher temperature is over 18ºC, and the lowest 11ºC. The average hours of daylight: 17 hours; the average rainfall: 60mm. Scottish people describe the weather in this season as stoater.

   Winter (December, January, February) the higher temperature is about 7ºC, and the lowest 2ºC. The average hours of daylight: 8 hours; the average rainfall: 60mm. One word to describe forecast: Jeelit- freezing. 


NORTHEN OF IRELAND:
    The climate of Northern Ireland is characterized by equability, a consequence of the moderating effects of the Atlantic Ocean - bringing relatively mild winters and cool summers. However, the indented shape of the coastline and the presence of high ground introduce localized differences in temperature, cloud, and precipitation.
   The mean annual temperatures vary from about 8'5ºC to 10ºC. The weather is similar to the rest of the UK, but with less sun, and more rain. With a variable climate, even if it is not normal having extreme temperatures. 
   Spring (February, March, April) the highest temperatures oscillate between 8ºC and 12ºC.  Summer (May, June, July) temperatures are between 18ºC and 20ºC. July and August there 18 hours of sun, and there's not obscurity till 23:00h. 
   Autumn (August, September, October) temperatures oscillate between 18ºC and 14ºC. Being January and February the coldest months. In winter ( November, December, January) the temperature falls over 0ºC in an intermittent way, and if there is not an unusual cold wave, it does not usually snow. 

WALES:
      With an oceanic and wet weather, Wales has the same climate as the UK. With soft temperatures on summer (15º to 18ºC) and cool winters (-5ºC). They are not noticeable neither spring nor autumn; it's hot from May to September, and cold from mid-September to April. 



ENGLAND: 
     England is situated to the west of Eurasia and has an extensive coastline. Such a positioning is responsible for its fairly complex climate, which demonstrates the meeting of the dry continental air and the moist maritime air. This creates rather large differences in temperature ranges and also leads to the occurrence of several 'seasons over the course of one day.
     Generally speaking, the parts of England closest to the Atlantic Ocean experience the mildest temperatures, although these are also the wettest and experience the most wind. The areas in the east, on the other hand, are drier and less windy, but also display cooler temperatures. 
     Spring is from March to May and is cool and dry. Noonday highs can become quite warm, particularly as summer approaches. However, snow is still possible, right up until the middle of April. Temperatures range between about 0 and 10ºC.

Temperatures reach around 30ºC.  On Autumn, occurs between September and November and produces unstable weather conditions, its temperatures range between about 1ºC and 13ºC.                              
     The cold winter lasts from December until February. This is a very wet and windy season and snowfall is common.Temperatures can range from as low as 0ºC to about 10ºC, with very chilly winds.
