Weather forecast for western and central Europe in February 20 17

Western Europe is a political geographical term, and the "Western Europe" you mentioned belongs to geographical terms.

Western Europe. In a narrow sense, Western Europe refers to the islands near the Atlantic Ocean and Western Europe, including Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Monaco. Broadly speaking, it is from southern Scandinavia to Italy. The terrain is mainly plain, followed by plateau; The mountainous area is small, mainly distributed in northwest England and southeast France. There are three climate types-temperate continental climate, temperate maritime climate and Mediterranean climate.

Geographical topography—

1. Plain is dominant; Western Europe is low and flat, with a large proportion of plains. The important plains are Bode Plain and Western Europe Plain. The north and south mountains are widely distributed, with Scandinavian mountains in the north and Alps in the south. Mont Blanc is 48 10 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in western Europe.

4. Glacier action is obvious.

North: Affected by glaciers, many fjords, moraine lakes and coastlines are tortuous. Scandinavia is the most typical.

South: The rolling hills are made up of many U-shaped valleys, tinder, ice buckets, moraine lakes and moraines. Alpine areas are the most typical. There are many peninsulas, islands, oceans and bays in western Europe, most of which are located in the northern temperate zone, deeply influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, with outstanding marine characteristics.

Climatic characteristics:

The climate is mild in winter and cool in summer, with small annual and daily temperature differences. There is more precipitation and the seasonal distribution is even. During the year, the temperature is getting bigger and bigger from west to east, while the precipitation is getting less and less. Generally speaking, the continental nature of western Europe is gradually strengthened from west to east.

Ocean influence

1 is located in the mid-latitude westerly belt.

The terrain is low and flat.

Few north and south mountains block the west wind.

4 Close to the ocean

6 North Atlantic Warm Current Warming and Humidifying

Climate impact

1) is located in 43 N ~ 58 N and belongs to the westerly belt.

(2) It is cool in summer and warm in winter-a. Ocean regulation. B. the influence of warm current. It is the most significant "positive deviation" region of global winter temperature.

It rains all year round: the west wind blows.

A. There are many reasons for the rain in autumn and winter: the warm and humid marine air mass along the coast of western Europe meets the continental cold air mass in this area, bringing convective rain.

B. Main factors affecting rainfall distribution: windward and leeward slopes in mountainous areas.

Central Europe, the full name of Central Europe, is one of the geographical divisions of five European countries, including Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland.

Central Europe is located in a temperate climate zone, and the climate types are distributed as temperate maritime climate in some parts of western Central Europe and temperate continental humid climate in the east. The terrain is diverse, and the northern part is Bode Plain. In the south are the Alps and Carpathians; Hungarian plain, with Danube River basin in the east. Less resources, mainly forests and coal mines. The temperature in Central Europe is moderate, with little change. The coldest month in 65438+ 10 is about 0 degrees Celsius, and it is about-10 degrees Celsius in mountainous areas, and it is from February to March in 18 in winter. Alpine areas last until May, with an average of 20 degrees Celsius in summer, and the hottest month is from June to August. Generally speaking, the average temperature in July is 14 ~ 19℃, 1-5 ~ 1℃.
