Extreme Places
A
Many of the world’s cities are on the coast. In winter,
when it’s cold, icy rain and big storms arrive from the
sea, and they cause a lot of problems. 1
Wellington, in New Zealand, has more storms than any
other city in the world – storms that blow people from
their feet and throw trees into the air. Every day, even
in summer when it’s very hot and sunny, people find
it difficult to walk along the street, and impossible to
control their umbrellas!
B
When we think of the Arctic, we think of warm clothing
and an incredibly cold, snowy land of empty spaces. But,
in May and June, when the days never end, and the sky
is always blue, it is probably the best place in the world
for sunshine. 2 It’s usually around –10°C,
and on a really windy day it’s not easy to stop your towel
blowing away.
