EUROPE
For web-viewing convenience, Europe
is divided into three sections:
NORTHERN EUROPE - This includes the United
Kingdom, Ireland,
Iceland, Greenland, all of
Scandinavia, and the three Benelux
nations. Their climates have a lot in
common. Their summers feature long days
that are frequently cloudy, wet, and mild to cool in temperature.
CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE - This section includes Germany, Austria, Switzerland,
Russia, and all of the eastern European countries that were once thought of as
part of the “Eastern Bloc”. Again, their
climates have a lot in common. There are
usually four distinct seasons, and winters can be cold and snowy.
WESTERN AND SOUTHERN EUROPE
- This includes Portugal and all of the European countries that
border on the Mediterranean Sea. Most of these countries have a variant of the
Mediterranean Climate over much of their area (sunny dry summers and mild wet
winters).
