Climate Many international students believe that the weather is the most frequent topic of conversation in the UK - it may well be true.

Average temperatures rarely rise above 26 degrees in the summer or drop below freezing in the winter. The following information will give you an approximate idea about the annual cost of living for a single student. If you have come from a very different climate it may be cheaper to buy your clothes when you arrive in Britain.
