A bad day in July could be as cold as a mild day in January. You should bring an umbrella whenever you go to London. Indeed, the small amount of sunshine and a great amount of dampness make you feel cold at almost any time of the year.While in New Youk City, the temperature will change within a few hours. In winter, the snow will milt soon and the streets will be covered instead with mud. And within a few hours, the temperature will suddenly drop and mud will all change into ice. It is almost impossible to drive or walk. Cars slide and people slip and fall all over the streets. It is difficult to dress properly for such weather. If you dress lightly in the warm morning, the temperature drops and by night you will shiver with cold. But if you dress heavy in the morning because it seems cold, the weather may turn hot suddenly.
