France

Climate

Three types of climate may be found within France: oceanic, continental, and Mediterranean. The oceanic climate, prevailing in the western parts of the country, is one of small temperature range, ample rainfall, cool summers, and cool but seldom very cold winters. The continental (transition) type of climate, found over much of eastern and central France, adjoining its long common boundary with west-central Europe, is characterized by warmer summers and colder winters than areas farther west; rainfall is ample, and winters tend to be snowy, especially in the higher areas. The Mediterranean climate, widespread throughout the south of France (except in the mountainous southwest), is one of cool winters, hot summers, and limited rainfall. The mean temperature is about 11°C (53° F) at Paris and 15°C (59° F) at Nice. In central and southern France, annual rainfall is light to moderate, ranging from about 68 cm (27 in) at Paris to 100 cm (39 in) at Bordeaux. Rainfall is heavy in Brittany, the northern coastal areas, and the mountainous areas, where it reaches more than 112 cm (44 in).

I don't know why someone had to add their opinion of Global Warming to this page but it only shows their simple mindedness and uneducated opinion of a very important subject.

Thanks Guys. This Site has a lot of good information for a 6th grader like me. You saved me a ton of time because all this great info is in one site. Great information for a 6th grader instead of wikipedia's information for a college kid. In Conclusion this is a great site and im showing it to all my friends. Thanks!
