The weather in Russia and UK
Hello everybody!
I`m from Saint-Petersburg, Russia, but I live in London, UK, at the moment. A lot of people think the weather in SPb and London the same. But it is not true. The middle of summer in SPb and London are similar, but spring, autumn and especially winter in SPb really colder then in London. The temperature lower than 0 degree in London very rarely, also as the snow. But in SPb the first snow appeare in November and melt in March or April. Minus 10 or 15 degree and strong ice wind in SPb is normal. I hate the such weather!
It is paradox, but Russian afraid cold more than Englishman. For example, in Russia you will never meet person wearing shorts outside if the temparature lower than +20-+18 degree. British can wear shorts and slippers even it +5 degree outside.
I think it because of in Russian houses very warm. +25 degree inside it is normal. In English houses +25 is amazing, unregularly and too hot.

The weather in Russia and UK
Hello everybody!I'm from Saint Petersburg, Russia, but I live in London, UK, at the moment. A lot of people think the weather in SPb and London are the same. But it is not true. The middle of summer in SPb and London are similar, but spring, autumn and especially winter in SPb are much colder than in London. The temperature rarely drops below 0 in London and it rarely snows. lower than 0 degree in London very rarely, also as the snow. But in SPb the first snow appears in November and it doesn't melt until March or April. Temperatures of minus 10 or 15 degrees and strong icy winds are normal in SPb. I hate that weather!
It is strange, but Russians are more afraid of the cold than most English. For example, in Russia you will never meet a person wearing shorts outside if the temperature is lower than +20-+18 degree. But the British will wear shorts and slippers even it is +5 degrees outside(!)
I think it because Russians keep their houses very warm. +25 degrees inside it is normal. In English houses +25 is very unusual and considered too hot.

The weather in Russia and the UK
Hello everybody!I’m (be careful to use the right apostrophe symbol ‘ ) from Saint-Petersburg, Russia, but I live in London, UK at the moment. A lot of people think the weather in SPb and London is (the subject is the weather [singular], so the verb is singular as well) the same. But it is not true. The middle of summer in SPb and London is similar, but spring, autumn and especially winter in SPb are colder than in London. The temperature lower than drops below 0 degrees in London very rarely, also as the snow falls. But in SPb the first snow appears in November and melts in March or April. Minus 10 or 15 degrees and strong icy winds in SPb are normal. I hate the such weather!
It is paradoxical, but Russians are more afraid of the cold more than Englishmen. For example, in Russia you will never meet person people wearing shorts outside if the temparature is lower than 20 to 18 degrees. The British, however, can wear shorts and slippers even if it is 5 degrees outside.
I think it is because of in Russian houses are very warm. 25 degrees (the plus sign is not necessary) inside it is normal. In English houses 25 is uncomfortable and too hot.

Hello everybody!
I`(becareful with the correct signal)m from Saint-Petersburg, Russia, but I live in London, UK, at the moment. A lot of people think the weather in SPb and London is (always use the verb to be when you wanna give a feature) the same. But it is not true. The middle of summer in SPb and London are similar, but spring, autumn and especially winter in SPb is really colderthen (than [becareful with spelling]) in London. The temperature lower (the lower temperature [ the adjective always comes before the noun in English]) (more/less) than 0 degree in London is very rarely, also as the snow. But in SPb the first snow appeare in November and melt in March or April. Minus 10 or 15 degrees (don't forget the plural) and a strong ice wind in SPb is normal. I hate the such weather!
It is a (when someone or something has a feature, it should be there a noun before the feature/adjective) paradox, but Russians (it should be in the plural, 'cause you are talking about all the russians, and not only one of them)afraid (fear is the verb. Afraid is not a verb, it is an adjective) cold more than Englishman. For example, in Russia you will never meet (a) (it should be there an article, for enphasising that it's one person, even if the noun in on singular) person wearing shorts outside if the temparature is lower than 20- 18 degrees. British can wear shorts and slippers even IF it's 5 degrees outside.
I think it is becauseof (don't use of in this situation) in Russian houses it is very warm. 25 degrees inside it is normal. In English houses 25 is amazing, unregularly and too hot.

Hey Anna! This was fun to read and I found it really funny. It’s also interesting that some people could wear shorts in such inclement weather, I could never! I wouldn’t dare do that. Well, I hope my edits help, and I’m available to help out if you need it!
