4a. Listen to the weather forecasts and match them with the weather maps.

4b. Read the weather forecasts, match them with the weather maps and guess which of them are for summer, autumn, spring and winter. What do the words in italics mean?

1. The day will start mainly bright with some fog. Much of the UK will be sunny and dry with light or moderate winds later in the day. The south-east, East Anglia and Lincolnshire will see more sunshine in the afternoon, and cloud will begin to thicken across north-eastern England during the evening. Western Scotland and Northern Ireland have the chance of patchy (местами) light rain or drizzle for a time. The average day temperatures will range from 15 degrees Celsius in the Scottish Highlands to 20 degrees Celsius in the southeast of the UK. On the whole, it will be a fantastic warm day. Have a good day, and fair weather.

moderate['mpd(ə)rət] – neither very great nor very small in amount, size, or strength

2. The UK will feel generally mild today under mostly over-cast skies. London and southern England will have a cloudy and breezy but dry day, with brighter spells in places. The rest of Southern England, along with the Midlands and East Anglia, will also be gusty (с порывистым ветром) but dry. Wales and northern England will see windy weather, with patchy rain later in the day. Northern Ireland will have drizzle or down-pours and be blowy, too, as will Scotland, where there’s a chance of sunshine and a few showers. Remember, there’s no bad weather, there are bad clothes.

4c. Work in pairs. Compare the UK’s weather in different seasons with that of Belarus.
