The greater part of Germany lies in the cool/temperate climatic
zone in which humid westernly winds predominate.
In the north-west and the north the climate is oceanic and
rain falls all the year round. Winters there are relatively
mild and summers tend be comparatively cool, even though temparatures
can reach above twenty-eight degrees Celcius for prolonged
periods of time. (Average temperatures: Hamburg: January 0.3°C
/ July 17.1°C; Essen: January 1.5°C / July 17.5°C)
In the east the climate shows clear continental features;
winters can be very cold for long periods, and summers can
become very warm. Here, too, long dry periods are often recorded.
(Average temperatures: Berlin: January -0.9°C / July 18.6°C)
In the central part and the south there is a transitional
climate which varies from moderately oceanic to continental,
depending on the location. (Average temperatures: Munich:
January -2.2°C / July 17.6°C; Freiburg: January 1.2°C
/ July 19.4°C)
