What is the climate like in Germany?

Germany has a temperate maritime climate.

Germany's mild climate is due to the drift of the North Atlantic Ocean, and the Gulf Stream extends northward, which affects the surrounding areas of the North Sea with warmer seawater. There is precipitation all year round, with more precipitation in summer. The north is warmer than the south in winter and the south is warmer than the north in summer.

In northwest Germany, the maritime climate is more obvious, because this part of the region is close to the coast, and the maritime monsoon is more obvious, but the climate here is more suitable for tourism. There is no too hot weather in summer and no very cold temperature in winter, so it is very suitable for traveling in both winter and summer.

topography

The terrain of Germany is varied, including rolling mountains, plateaus, hills, beautiful lakes and vast plains. The whole terrain of Germany can be divided into five distinctive regions: the northern lowlands of Germany, the Zhongshan Uplift, the southwest Zhongshan trapezoid, the southern Alps frontier and the Bavarian Alps.

The terrain of Germany is low in the north and high in the south, which can be divided into four terrain areas: the northern German plain, with an average elevation of less than 100 meters; The mountainous area between China and Germany is composed of high blocks that strike east and west. The Rhine fault valley in the southwest is surrounded by steep valley-walled mountains; Bavarian Plateau and the southern Alps, in which zugspitze, the main peak of Bourne Alps, is 2963 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in China.
