What is the climate in Aachen, Germany? Especially the climate in winter? How does it compare with Beijing?
Germany has a temperate continental climate
Germany’s climate
Germany’s climate is determined by the relationship between the airflow blowing in from the Atlantic and the confrontation between continental air masses. Because the intensity of the two changes constantly, the weather pattern is very unstable. The climate changes from hot to cold or from dry to wet very quickly and with high frequency. It is a transitional climate between the maritime climate of Western Europe and the continental climate of Eastern Europe. This phenomenon became a characteristic of the German climate.
The geographical locations of European countries are relatively northerly. But in fact, Germany has a warm climate and is very suitable for traveling. There are four distinct seasons here throughout the year. No matter what season you visit, just prepare clothing suitable for North China. The summers here are dry and the winters are warm, humid and rainy. Therefore, no matter how high the temperature is in summer, you will immediately feel cooler as soon as you step into a place where the sun does not shine. This is similar to Beijing. Summer nights are sometimes cooler, so it’s best to bring a sweater.
The winter in the north is surprisingly warm. Germany’s terrain is divided into three major areas: the mountainous area in the south, the hilly area in the center, and the plain area in the north. Contrary to the bright and mild south-central part, the north always seems to feel cold and dark. In fact, this may not be correct. The temperature in the north is indeed lower than in the south in summer, but in winter due to the influence of the ocean, the weather is actually warmer than in the south. In summer, the northern part of the country has short daylight hours and mostly cloudy weather, so it inevitably gives people a dark and sad feeling, but this can be regarded as a kind of travel fun.
Otherwise, how about going to the north in winter?
