France - Climate



France Climate 1085
Photo by: magann

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).

Pretty much summed up one tiny but essential part in my geography project. thanks. By the way, it would be awesome if there were more things on here for France and other regions/countries such as relative location, detailed maps, transportation, foods, history, cultural customs, ethnic groups, visitor tips, physical geography, recreations, and pictures. Most likely not all of these but at least some. I'm gonna shut up now.
173
Mys.tury..?..
Thanks... umm this isn't enough to help me and it isn't on the subject i need it on... i need it on the type of climate in france like hot and cold in this part and whatnot and not the different types of climates like oceanic, but anyways... thanks and i will try to use it the best i can it was useful if i was on a different subject... :)
