Authors note: I decided to write this post about the geography of the UK because I wanted to understand the UK better and I wanted to get some credit for geography.
There are many different countries in the world and each one is different. If I went to Wisconsin and then teleported to the UK they are two totally different places. A reason the two are different is because on is on the other side of the globe! I think that countries have to be different because one is located higher than the other so it's colder.
The UK is located next to Ireland in Europe, and it's within 49 N, 59 N and 8 W, 2 E. What I usually think of when I hear United Kingdom, is the royal guards and "Jaffa Cakes"(spongy cake part on he bottom with cream in the middle and dark chocolate over the top) . Some of the things that are in the UK are many mountains and separate islands. Some of the "Man made" things include castles and old stone buildings.
The climate of the UK is very steady and it averages 43 degrease Fahrenheit in January and averages 69 degrease in the summer in July. Unlike in Wisconsin the average temperature is about 50 degrease. They don't get much rain, only about 2-3 inches of precipitation a month! Also like Wisconsin there are mosquitoes.
In the UK people live no farther than 75 mi. from the sea. Most businesses are in the mountainous area of the country. This country is very interesting in how it works because it is so similar to the US. People drive on the opposite side of the road.
I have to say that I like the UK and would love to go there for a vacation and when I do I'll be able to make a big post about my experience. But until that happens I can still do research and stuff. In conclusion, the UK is a big place and has many different things in it and it is a very nice place to live.

October, there is usually a distinct chill in the air, many regions will have experienced their first frosty nights. This is generally an unsettled month with infrequent settled periods. Autumnal storms are likely, this can bring very wet, stormy weather with localised flooding in places. October can sometimes experience a small continuation of Summer, with temperatures reaching the 20’s, mountainous areas of Scotland, and Northern England may see a return in Wintry weather..
