Technically Norway should be much colder on level of Canada cold. They aren't because Gulf stream. Same for UK, which usually does not even have winter like Southern Europe, just endless autumn.
- ijlx 3y agoInterestingly, per another article I read on HN a couple weeks ago, it may not be due to the gulf stream: https://www.americanscientist.org/article/the-source-of-europes-mild-climate https://www.americanscientist.org/article/the-source-of-euro...
- gizajob 3y agoSorry, are you from the UK? Which part of southern Europe are you referring to? I can appreciate that the UK is milder than it should be, but it definitely gets winter compared to southern Europe, particularly the darkness. It even snowed here a couple of weeks ago. Melbourne, Australia would be a good example of your “6 months of autumn” idea.
- TheLoafOfBread 3y agoI am from central Europe, lived in UK for 4 years and moved to southern Europe. I can say that in UK there is no real winter. Just autumn. Same like southern Europe. Only difference is less fog.
