THE CLIMATE OF THE BRITISH ISLES
There is an important difference between describing weather of a place and the climate of a place. Weather refers to the short term conditions of the atmosphere at the local scale. Climate refers to the long term (30 years) conditions of the atmosphere at a regional scale. We can also refer to micro-climates but only in particular to unique climates given the general climatic conditions of the surrounding area. A good example of a micro climate is the urban climate.
