Average daily temperature for every month in Europe [666x600] [GIF]

Aaaaah thank you! I've been complaining about GIFs on this sub for a good two years now and you're the first person who's actually told me how to control them.

I don't know if this is because I'm British but i count anything 20C and over as hot/sweating like a pig.

I'll have you know that it's been over 40C for several days in Phoenix, AZ, and none of the clothes I've been wearing in my 32C pool have caught fire!

As an American living in Canada, thank you very much for this.

Funny, I would make all these interpretations a step higher everytime though. 10°C is not chilly, it's cold, and 25°C is nice

There are also semi-deserts in Spain.

As fas as I can see here, it's only a semi-desert (BSk climate). The only true desert areas (BW-) in Europe seem to be in Spain. A more detailed map can be found here, both BWk and BWh are present. They are very popular places to shoot movies; The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is probably the most well-known example.

theres also one in Poland

Iceland?

Yes, definitely. Except the coastal areas, Turkey is colder than England in the winter. Have a look at the screenshot of the weather I took on January 26, 2016: http://i.imgur.com/4BlJMq0.png

Ankara is the capital of Turkey. This is another screenshot, from January 2015: http://i.imgur.com/lBKwvWa.png

This is the map of average temperatures in Turkey, in January: http://i.imgur.com/YtAiFaO.jpg

Compare the climates of Ankara and London:

London: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London#Climate

Ankara: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankara#Climate

Eastern Turkey can be even colder than -30 or -40 C. For example, this is the climate of Erzurum, a city in eastern Turkey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erzurum#Climate

The reasons are:

• Anatolian peninsula has very high elevation. Have a look at this physical map of Turkey: http://i.imgur.com/npRmzE5.gif

There are few green areas (0-200 metres), but lots of brown areas. Average elevation looks like 1000 metres. In eastern Anatolia, it is looks like 2000 metres.

This is the list of the highest mountains in England: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mountains_and_hills_of_the_United_Kingdom#Highest_mountains_in_England

The highest mountain in England is 978 metres. Elevation of Ankara is 938 metres, elevation of Erzurum is 1900 metres.

• There are mountains near the coasts (Taurus mountains in the south, Pontus mountains in the north, lots of smaller mountains in the west) blocking warm and humid air coming from seas to central Anatolia.

*England also has Gulf stream, which brings warm air and water.

Eastern Anatolia is very mountainous and is known for being really cold

Check this out this is what winter looks like

I actually find the climate in Scandinavia to be perfect. Nice and warm summers (20-30C) and not too cold winters (0 to -10C). Also we actually have seasons here, which is not that common further south where there is seldom snow in the winter.
