The impact of the temperate maritime climate on the grapes: sufficient sunshine and a significant temperature difference between day and night.
The temperate maritime climate is generally distributed on the west coast of the continent between 40° and 60° north and south latitude, and is more widespread in Europe. It is also found in North and South America and Oceania. either due to the small area of the western belt or due to the barrier, oceanic climates tend to be found only in narrow bands or islands.
Western Europe is located at approximately 30-40 degrees north latitude. Affected by the westerly wind, water vapor blown by the Atlantic Ocean can affect weather conditions. The relief of North America is high in the west, low in the middle, and slightly higher in the east. Water vapor blown off the Pacific is blocked by the Rocky Mountains. Only coastal areas are affectedand the Warm Alaskan Current. go through there. The distribution area is therefore large in Western Europe and small in North America.
Detailed information:
The closer the oceanic climate zone is to the ocean, more ocean climate The stronger the sex. Especially in winter, because there is a warm current passing along the coast, the west wind blows from the warm sea surface, and the air current is warm and humid. Therefore, the temperature in winter is much warmer than the center of the continent and. the east coast of the continent at the same latitude. The average temperature of the coldest month is above 0℃.
Cloudy and foggy weather with high humidity. Most continental areas close to the ocean have maritime climatic characteristics, and the coastal areas of Western Europe are typical maritime climatic zones of the continent.
