Someone once said that if it wasn’t for the weather, the English would have nothing to talk about. Frank McKinney Hubbard said: “Don’t knock the weather. If it didn’t change once a while, 9 out of 10 people couldn’t start a conversation”. This supports Oscar Wilde’s statement that: “Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative”. Yet many conversations begin with “What do you think of the weather?” or “Nice weather we’re having, isn’t it?” It’s hardly surprising in a country like the UK, where the weather is changeable, to say the least. In the morning you might look out of the window to find the sun shining. It’s fine weather. “Turned out nice again, hasn’t it?” you say, with fingers crossed. Of course, crossing your fingers doesn’t usually have any effect apart from making you feel better. So, by the afternoon, it’s raining cats and dogs! “Lovely weather!” you’ll be saying. “Yes, lovely weather for ducks!” And because the weather in Britain is so changeable, people often promise to do things, “come rain or shine”.

Get wet when it’s chilly, and you’ll catch cold. Then you’ll be feeling a bit under the weather. You’ll need to spend a few days in bed. But after a hot toddy or two, you’ll soon be feeling as right as rain again. So it’s best to stay out of miserable weather. But just how do you know it’s going to rain? You could trust in the old adage “Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight”. Or “Take a peek in the morning”. Some people trust in such old sayings. You might just as well trust in your barometer. As Ambrose Bierce pointed out in his “The Devil’s Dictionary”: “A barometer is an ingenious instrument which indicates what kind of weather we’re having”.

Other people trust in weather forecast. Unlike barometers, meteorologists are supposed to tell us what the weather is going to be like. They watch local climate patterns and try to predict how the weather will change. They lie to us through their television weather forecasts. Here they use symbols and maps to make the weather, which is very complicated, easier to understand. Often, the color of the sky in the morning is a more accurate indication of the coming weather. These days, there’s a lot of talk about climate change. Some people say that climate change is a storm in a tea-cup. But scientists predict that we’re going to experience more extreme weather conditions. Let’s just hope that humanity can weather the storm.

                         Whether the weather be fine,

                          Whether the weather be not,

                          Whether the weather be cold,

                          Whether the weather be hot,

                          We’ll weather the weather,

                           Whatever the weather,

                           Whether we like it or not.

Task 1

Read and translate the text into Ukrainian

                            Weather and Climate of Ukraine

The weather and climate of Ukraine is determined by its geographical location. Ukraine’s territory lies in the temperate belt. In general the country’s climate is temperately continental, being subtropical only on the southern coast of the Crimea. The differences in weather and climate are caused by many factors: the latitude, relief, altitude, and proximity to seas and oceans. The weather and climate varies not only from north to south, but also from the north-west to the south-east as the warm damp air masses moving from the north-western Atlantic weaken and become drier. A characteristic feature of the weather and climate is an increase in its continental nature from west to east.

A feature of Ukraine’s climate is the considerable fluctuation in weather conditions from year to year. Alongside very wet years there can be droughts, whose effect increases to the south and east. There are frequent oscillations in weather in the regions of the Crimean and Carpathian Mountains.

The average yearly temperature in Ukraine varies between +7, +10 in the north and +12, +15 in the south. The coldest month is January with a record low of – 42 (degrees below zero). The warmest month is July with a record high +40 (degrees above zero).

Precipitation (rain, snow, and other forms of moisture) ranges from about 76 cm a year in the north to about 25 cm in the south. The highest rainfall is in the Carpathian and Crimean Mountains.

On the southern coast of the Crimea the climate is subtropical Mediterranean, in as much as the Crimean Mountains obstruct the movement of cold Arctic air to the coast. These weather and climate features have contributed to the creation of the best resort areas in Ukraine.  

Task 2

Answer the following questions - Дати відповіді на запитання

1. What is the weather and climate of Ukraine determined by?
2. What climate does Ukraine have?
3. What are the differences in weather and climate caused by?
4. What’s the characteristic feature of the weather and climate?
5. Where are there frequent oscillations in weather conditions?
6. Where can you find the highest rainfall in Ukraine?
7. Which is the coldest month of the year?
8. Which the warmest month of the year?
9. What’s the weather like today?

Task 3

Listen to the weather forecast and try to make your own weather forecast for tomorrow. Imagine that you are a presenter on TV

Прослухати прогноз погоди та скласти свій прогноз погоди на завтра. Уявити собі, що ви прогнозуєте погоду по телевізору

The majority of the region will be mild and dry today. A cold front pushes a band of rain and showers into western portions of the region during the afternoon and early evening. Tonight the band of rain marches eastward reaching New England and the Mid-Atlantic coast during the overnight. The rain moves offshore Tuesday afternoon. High temperature will be mostly in the 60s to lower 70s today. Some very light lake-effect snow possible in higher elevations east of Lakes Erie and Ontario Tuesday.

A band of rain, showers and thunderstorms marches eastward with a cold front through the South and Southeast we’re going to have today and tonight. Isolated thunderstorms are possible in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and southeast Louisiana today. It turns blustery and much cooler behind the front.

The strong cold front continues to push eastward through the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley with rains and showers today. Some of the rain has changed to a very brief period of snow before ending in Michigan, northern Indiana and northern Ohio. No significant snow accumulation is expected in interior southern Michigan, northern Indiana and Ohio.

Winds should be out of the west causing the bands to set up over the Keeweenaw Peninsula of northern Michigan and along the eastern shores of Lake Michigan. It should be blustery and cool across the Plains.
