In the southwest peninsula, known as the West country, is a plateau with good dairy farming, granite outcrops and a rugged coastline. The rest of the country is known as the English Lowlands consists of farmland, low hills, an industrial belt and the city of London. England's climate is mild and damp, with temperatures moderated by the light winds blowing off its relatively warm seas. Inland temperatures don't fall much below freezing in winter, or rise much above 86 F in summer. The north is the coldest area, while London, the southeast and the West Country are the warmest.
Rainfall is greatest in hilly areas and in the West Country.
You can expect cloudy weather and light drizzle in any part of England at any time. Perhaps England's greatest cultural export has been the English language, the current language of the international community. There are astonishing regional variations in accents. It is not unusual to find those in southern England claiming to need an interpreter to speak to anyone living north of Oxford. Of course, one cannot overlook England's contributions to the fields of theatre, literature and architecture.
