Europe – temperatures in July
In addition to the maritime influence on the climate in Europe, the decrease in radiation energy from south to north leads to a characteristic zonal temperature distribution, ie a temperature distribution parallel to the circle of latitudewhich is particularly evident in the summer half of the year (July). Because of the predominantly positive radiation balance, the map shows a north-south change in the July temperature over large parts of Europe. The comparatively cool water masses of the Atlantic have a dampening effect, so that the July isotherms over western and northwestern Europe are shifted to the south. While in Eastern Europe, for example, average July temperatures of 20 ° C are still reached north of the 60th parallel, this value is already below this value on the Atlantic coast at the 50th parallel because the prevailing westerly winds here from the ocean transport relatively cool air masses.
Europe has a share in three climatic zones: the subtropics, the middle latitudes and the polar region.
The highest temperatures are achieved in the fully arid areas of the subtropics as a result of the stronger solar radiation and the largely lack of cloud cover. Average temperatures in July generally exceed 30 ° C in the interior of North Africa and Asia. The lowest July temperatures in Europe are reached in northern Scandinavia and Iceland (monthly mean 5 to 10 ° C). As in winter, in summer the altitude of the mountains stand out as cooler climatic islands. For more information about the continent of Europe, please check physicscat.com.
