The British Isles and the United Kingdom, sentence 14

The UK has a mild, wet climate: warm Atlantic water and westerly winds make its winters warmer than places such as Labrador at the same latitude, and the west is wetter than the east because wet Atlantic winds drop their rain on the western hills first.

Who acts: UK, west, wet Atlantic winds, winds · What happens: have, make, be, drop, rain · To what, where: mild wet climate, rain, western hills
