Climate and weather in Europe

What is the climate like in Europe?

Europe has a very varied climate, ranging from an Arctic climate in the northern parts to a warm Mediterranean climate in the southern parts. Europe's climate is influenced by the Atlantic and the Gulf Stream, which means that temperatures are milder than in many other places at the same latitude. In the Nordic countries, it is a subarctic and temperate climate with long, cold and dark winters and short but bright summers. In the central parts of Europe, it is a temperate climate with clear seasons. Southern Europe offers a wonderful Mediterranean climate with dry, warm and long summers and mild winters. In Eastern Europe, it is a continental climate with large differences in summer and winter.
