What are the climatic characteristics of Europe?

The European continent is a big peninsula extending from the Eurasian continent to the Atlantic Ocean, accounting for 1/5 of the Eurasian continent. With a coastline of 37,900 kilometers, the mainland is the most tortuous and complicated continent in the world, with the most severe cutting.

Most of Europe is located in the north temperate zone, with a mild and humid climate. The western Atlantic coast is cool in summer, mild in winter, rainy and foggy, which is a typical maritime temperate broad-leaved forest climate. The east is far from the ocean and belongs to the continental temperate broad-leaved forest climate.

The northern part of the eastern European plain belongs to temperate coniferous forest climate. The arctic ocean coast is cold in winter and cool and short in summer, which belongs to the frozen tundra climate. The southern Mediterranean coastal area is warm and rainy in winter and hot and dry in summer, which belongs to the subtropical Mediterranean climate.

Weather characteristics in Europe:

The eastern part of the European continent has little rainfall, low relative humidity and clear sky. This climate phenomenon exists widely in the vast hilly areas of Europe and Asia. These influences are distributed along the north-south belt, passing through Norway, Denmark and Germany.

The subtropical high system is the main moving season in the southern Alps, so the rainfall in this area changes obviously with the seasons, with rainy winter and dry summer.
