What is the main climate in Europe?

Europe is dominated by temperate maritime climate.

This climate is characterized by warm winter and cool summer, uniform rainfall distribution and large annual precipitation. Most European countries belong to this climate type, such as Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and so on.

In the northwest coastal areas, there is generally no extremely cold weather in winter, nor is it too hot in summer, and the climate is mild and suitable. However, due to the vast territory of Europe, there are also other climate types, such as the sub-frigid climate of Nordic countries, the Mediterranean climate of countries around the Mediterranean, and the temperate continental climate of parts of Eastern Europe.

Temperate maritime climate features include:

1, moderate temperature: This climate type usually has four distinct seasons, with warm summer and cool winter. The temperature is relatively stable, with few extreme high or low temperatures.

2. Abundant precipitation: The precipitation in this climate type is relatively uniform throughout the year, and the rainfall is concentrated in autumn and winter. In these two seasons, there is relatively more rain in Mao Mao, but there are few heavy precipitation events.

3. Cloudy and foggy days: Because water evaporation meets air, fog and haze often appear in this climate type area, and there are more cloudy days.

4. Less influence of monsoon: Compared with tropical climate, temperate maritime climate is less affected by monsoon and generally has no obvious monsoon characteristics.

5. Biodiversity: This climate type is suitable for the growth of various plants, so it is rich in vegetation and diverse in animals, especially fish and aquatic animals.

6. Wide geographical distribution: temperate maritime climate is distributed in many parts of the earth, such as Western Europe, southern South America, northwestern North America and East Asia.
