minus-squareribboo@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 year agoIs that really true? I can’t speak for all of Europe, I just don’t know. But Northern Europe definitely has warmer summers than areas at a comparable latitude. I live in a part of Sweden that’s at a comparable level of Siberia. I promise you our summers are much warmer.

Here are three places with (fairly) similar latitude and identical summer temperatures, but nearly 20°C difference in winter: https://weatherspark.com/compare/y/84156~146168~148978/Comparison-of-the-Average-Weather-in-Stockholm;-Gillam-Man.;-and-Surgut-International-Airport
