Although Europe has different types of climatic conditions, depending upon the geographic conditions of the place, yet on a general level, most of the Europe climate remains temperate and mild, with cool summers and cold winters. Generally, if we compare different places on the same latitude with places on the same latitude in Europe, we would notice that places in Europe have a more favorable climate than places elsewhere in the Americas, Asia or Africa.

General rules:

  • Europe gets warmer towards the south
  • It gets drier towards the east
  • The prevailing wind blows in from the Atlantic Ocean. (But other winds blow in too-for example from the North Pole and from Africa)
  • The change from hot summer to cold winter is greatest in Eastern Europe.

Breakdown by country:

In southern Europe is found the Mediterranean climate, which appears in countries as: Portugal, Spain, France(south), Italy, Croatia, Albania, Greece and Turkey. This climate can be also found in Egypt, Libya, and Algeria,as it is distributed around the Mediterranean Sea.

Temperate Oceanic Climate: western Europe, in the area of Atlantic Ocean. Countries with this climate: United Kingdom, France, Spain(north), Germany etc.

Temperate Continental Climate: central and eastern Europe. Countries: Romania, Hungary, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro etc.

Tundra/Polar Climate: northern Europe. Countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia.
Well, Europe is mostly a cooler climate. It rains a good percentage of the year. Though it is not as mild as the Mediterranean Climate, northern Europe is rather pleasent for those who live here.

It's really neck and neck between the Continental Climate and Oceanic Climate. Eastern Europe is Continental while Western is Oceanic.
