Where is the temperate maritime climate in the world?

Temperate maritime climate

Located on the west coast of the mainland, 40 north latitude ~ 60 south latitude. Being in the westerlies all the year round, it is deeply influenced by the ocean air mass, and there is a warm current passing along the coast. There is no cold in winter and no heat in summer. The average temperature in Leng Yue is above 0℃, the hottest month is below 22℃, and the annual and daily temperature difference is small. There is precipitation all year round, especially in autumn and winter. The annual precipitation is above 1000mm, and the windward slope in mountainous areas can reach above 2000 ~ 3000 mm. This kind of climate is the most typical in western Europe, with the largest distribution area, and it is also distributed in the west coast of the American continent, Tasmania in Oceania and the corresponding latitudes of New Zealand.

[Edit this paragraph] Characteristics of temperate maritime climate

: 1. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the temperature difference is small throughout the year. The closer to the ocean, the stronger the maritime climate. Especially in winter, because there is a warm current along the coast, the west wind blows from the warm current sea surface, and the airflow is warm and humid, so the temperature in winter is much warmer than that in the continental center and the eastern coast of the mainland at the same latitude. The lowest monthly average temperature is above 0℃. In summer, the water temperature of the warm current is still lower than that of the mainland, and the sea is much cooler than the land. The hottest month temperature affected by the west wind here is below 22℃. Because it is warm in winter and cool in summer here, the annual temperature difference is much smaller than that in other areas of the same latitude. 2. It rains all the year round, and it rains more in winter: there is abundant cyclone rainfall in this area, especially in winter, and there are many rainy days, but the precipitation intensity is not great. Winter precipitation accounts for a slightly larger proportion of the whole year, and there is no dry season throughout the year.

[Edit this paragraph] Distribution of temperate maritime climate

Europe is the most extensive, in North and South America and Oceania, or because the land area of the westerly belt is small, or because it is mountainous, the maritime climate is often only distributed in narrow strips or islands.

[Edit this paragraph] temperate maritime climate planting

Temperate maritime climate, high latitude, rainy weather, light and heat conditions are generally not suitable for the development of farming (the heat conditions and planting distribution in the Paris Basin are good), general animal husbandry (such as northern Scotland), flower planting (such as the Netherlands) and other agricultural types with less heat requirements.
