Precipitation: The annual precipitation in Britain is 700- 1500mm, which is evenly distributed. The annual precipitation in Shanghai is 1000- 1500mm, with more rainfall from June to September, concentrated in summer. So the precipitation in the two places is similar, but it is even in Britain, and it is mainly in summer in Shanghai.

Sunshine: The sunshine time in Britain is short, with an average of only 1, 400- 1, 600 hours per year, while in Shanghai, it is 1, 800-2 1, 000 hours, so the sunshine is sufficient. So Shanghai is sunny and Britain is slightly dark and humid.

Generally speaking, the climate in Britain is mild, with little change in the four seasons. Shanghai has a hot and humid climate with four distinct seasons. Britain is cool and comfortable, while Shanghai looks dry and hot. The climate difference between the two places is quite big. British people will feel hot when they travel to Shanghai, but Shanghainese will feel cold when they go to Britain. This is also one of the reasons why the humanities and lifestyles of the two places are different.
