It gets cold in England from about October to February. The coldest month is usually January.

England has a climate that is regulated by the North Atlantic currents, both to its advantage and to its disadvantage.

During the summer, Britain could quite easily benefit from temperatures of 25-30C in June, July and August but, because, at this time of year, the area receives a lot of ex-tropical storms from the mid-Altantic, and sometimes the remnants of hurricanes from the Carribean and United States, the warm atmospheric conditions of the Altantic drift those weather systems over to North West Europe, and thus the cloud cover keeps the temperatures lower. Move West into mainland Europe, and these conditions are lowered. However, there are often 2 weeks in July, and again in September, when there is little or no cloud cover and temperatures soar (particularly in July).

England has a relatively warm Autumn, as the Atlantic tropical air is still active.

November is usually the month when the first frosts occur, unless the wind direction has changed, and has come from Europe in the October.

Still, more than 10 frosts before Christmas is unusual and, oddly enough, the South is more susceptible to frost in Autumn than the North.

The winter is cold and damp. From Christmas to March, the Atlantic has cooled and has become inactive with any major weather systems. Occasionally, though, the Atlantic has kicked up storms that, again, originate from the tropics, and 18C (65F) is reached, in January, every 5th or so year. February is a dry month, in comparison, and is generally when the minimum temperatures are produced. Every second February, at least 2 days will have a maximum below zero C (32F).

Spring takes a long time to warm. Low Atlantic sea temperatures keep the air temperature pegged at around 7C (40F) from March to May.

Spring is sunniest in the North and West (because the Atlantic conditions are calm) and in May it is often above 20C in Manchester, but London struggles with 15C due to misty foggy conditions brought in from the North Sea and Europe.

Then, once the Atlantic warms in June, the Atlantic fronts hit the North and West, and London remains often sheltered and several degrees warmer due to sunnier skies.
