Question

Why does the United kingdom have a temperate climate instead of a polar climate

Answer 1

Answer:

The UK is mostly under the influence of the maritime polar air mass from the north-west. The south and south-east of England are the least exposed to polar air masses from the north-west, and on occasion see continental tropical air masses from the south, which bring warm dry air in the summer.

Explanation:

The UK has a temperate climate. In general, this means that Britain gets cool, wet winters and warm, wet summers. London, in the south-east of the UK, is a region characterised by a warm and dry climate in the summer and a cold and dry climate in the winter.
