Speaker 1
Dear boys and girls! Welcome to International Weather Camp! We are glad you’ve chosen to be here. You’ll be able to get wide knowledge about weather and develop practical skills – you’ll read weather maps, forecast weather, conduct experiments, carry out research and do scientific projects. You’ll have a wonderful opportunity to work with meteorologists and learn more about this very useful work.
The working language of our International Weather Camp is English, so you’ll be able to use a lot of English and improve your communication skills. We hope, our camp will encourage your interest in and enthusiasm about weather, because, honestly, weather doesn’t leave anyone cold.
Speaker 2
Hi everybody! We’ll give you a very warm welcome here. All the instructors are kind, patient, understanding, helpful, and of course, very experienced. We have good facilities, including a library, a computer centre with access to the Internet, a science laboratory, a TV room and a gym to help you keep fit. We hope you’ll be fine here, that is (то есть) you will never be under the weather at our camp. We’ll teach you to read weather maps, understand and predict weather. You will also learn useful life skills, such as making your beds, cleaning your rooms, and washing your clothes. Don’t worry, you won’t have to wash your clothes by hand – we’ve got washing machines here. It will help you to weather the storm - to solve any life problem. We believe, you’ll make new friends here, who will be real, not just fair weather friends. So, let’s get started.
LESSON 3. Can you forecast weather?
Ex. 2a.
SUMMER FORECAST
Much of England and Wales will start with early fog, especially[1] across the central and southern areas. In the afternoon these regions will see heavy showers with thunder and lightning which will move further across western and northern regions later in the evening.
The average day temperatures will range from plus 17 Degrees Celsius in the Scottish Highlands to plus 24 Degrees Celsius in the southeast of the UK.
On the whole, it will be a warm, rainy, and at times stormy day. So don’t forget to take your umbrella with you. Take care you are not under the weather.
SPRING FORECAST
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.

WINTER FORECAST
Southeast England, central south England, East Anglia, the Midlands, the northeastern Scotland will all have early snow, which will turn to rain during the morning and will move to the south-west. So, the afternoon will see sunshine in the east and south-east and showers, some heavy, in the north and west of Great Britain. Early dampness (сырость) will clear quickly across southern and central England, and southern Scotland, which will have sunny intervals later in the day.
On the whole, it will be a cold day with the average zero temperature in most of the UK and 3 – 4 degrees Celsius in western and southern parts of the country. Northern Ireland will be very windy. But remember, not matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine. Take care.
AUTUMN FORECAST
The UK will feel generally mild today under mainly overcast skies. London and southern England will have a cloudy and breezy but dry day, with brighter spells (intervals) in places. The rest of Southern England, along with the Midlands and East Anglia, will also be gusty but dry. Wales and northern England will see windy weather, with patchy rain later in the day. Northern Ireland will have drizzle or downpours 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.
