Germany's climate is moderate and has generally no
longer periods of cold or hot weather. Northwestern and
coastal Germany have a maritime influenced climate which is characterized by warm summers and mild cloudy winters. Most areas on the country's North Sea coast have midwinter temperatures about 1.5°C or even higher.
Слайд 3
Temperature extremes between night and day and summer
and winter are considerably less in the north than
in the south. During January, the coldest month, the average temperature is about 1.5°C in the north and about -2°C in the south.
coastal region has July temperatures averaging between 16°C and 18°C; at some locations in the south, the average is almost 20°C or even slightly higher.
Слайд 5
In addition to the maritime and continental climates
that predominate over most of the country, the Alpine
regions in the extreme south and, to a lesser degree, some areas of the Central German Uplands have a so-called mountain climate.
Слайд 6
This climate is characterized by lower temperatures because
of higher altitudes and greater precipitation caused by air
becoming moisture-laden as it lifts over higher terrain
Слайд 7
Especially in fall and winter strong atlantic low-pressure systems can
bring gales and uncomfortable weather with showers, thunderstorms and
heavy rain, especially in the western coastal parts and the mountainous regions of Germany; in summer times weaker low pressure systems can cause showery weather, and sometimes even (severe)thunderstorms.
Слайд 8
Winters in Germany are generally mild, but can
sometimes be harsh with heavy snowfall and temperatures far
below zero, especially in the eastern, southern and mountainous regions.
Слайд 9
Required clothing:
Lightweights with rainwear for summer, waterproof Medium-
to Heavyweights for winter. A sweater is necessary almost
any time of year.
Слайд 10
Koeppen-Geiger classification:
The climate of Germany can be classified
as Cfb Climate; a warm temperated humid climate with the warmest
month lower than 22°C over average and four or more months above 10°C over average.
