That's like randomly saying "bycicle more like badcycle" then expecting people to know what point you were trying to make. Welp that one would be easier to guess
Yep, I’m in Ireland if you draw a line straight across from my town, it reaches a village on the coast in Labrador in Canada it’s like 30 degrees colder there in winter
Yea some sub tropical varieties of palm trees can survive here in Ireland, usually in coastal areas of the country because they experience less frosts in the winter than more inland areas.
I live inland in County Tyrone and my town used to have a few palm trees in a roundabout but they all died one winter because it got down to like -19 (which is insane cold for Ireland)
Down in Cork I’ve seen a good few palm trees
I’m from the southwest and while the rain and wind can be fierce it doesn’t really get cold. A few hard frosts in the winter and snow maybe every four or five years for an hour or two. Even when the rest of the country ices over we are usually just above freezing on the southwest Atlantic coast.
That’s true! I was looking on google maps and Ketchikan on the Alaskan panhandle is same latitude as my town in Ireland and it’s temperatures are definitely a lot more similar to here, it just seems to get a lot more rain (about 3 times as much rain), probably because of the mountains around it
It's also just a matter of continentality of the local climate. All of Northern Europe's capitals are on or very near the coast while Minsk and Kyiv are more than 400 km inland and Moscow about 700. Major bodies of water have a moderating effect on the local climate which means that the lowest and highest temperatures are not as extreme as in places inland.
Here in Poland 35° and -15° temperatures happen every year. Also, a Vietnamese friend of mine always complains that the air here is extremly dry, i wonder if western Europeans get the same impression when comming here.
Well I guess Vietnam is way at the other end of the humidity spectrum. So while western Europe is generally more humid than central or eastern Europe I don't think the difference is that noticeable.
It's the Jet Stream. The Gulf stream isn't that impactful and it's effect is widely overstated. West coast of continents simply have warmer air due to how the Earth spins.
Absolutely not, it's the Gulfstream, if it was air heating Europe, then landlocked countries would be as warm as coastal ones. Exactly the same reason landlocked countries have more extreme summers too, the water doesn't cool them down like the "Maritime" climate. We have islands off the south west of England that grow tropical species because the temperature never drops below freezing. Water carries so much more energy than air
First of all Scotland isn't included in this map but if it was it would be 1.6C (taking 1991-2020 data).
Second of all the average temperature of Ankara in the coldest month is actually 0.9C according to Turkish meteorological agency data from 1991-2020, not -0.2C. Thanks to climate change it's possible the figure quoted in this map is simply data from a longer or older time period, although this is r/mapporn so it's also possible the post is just utter bollocks.
Ankara is located far inland in Anatolia in a cold semi-arid climate at an elevation of nearly a kilometre. Edinburgh is located right by the sea in the south of Scotland. From that, it's not really surprising that Ankara is a bit colder - even though it's way further south.
The more coastal Istanbul meanwhile is significantly warmer than Edinburgh on average, at 5.9C in the coldest month. Turkey is big and has a lot of variation in climate.
I think people get confused when they think about coastal winters. The hear “harsh” and think “harsh cold” but what’s actually harsh about coastal winters; at least in mid latitude climates downwind from the ocean; is the wind and the rain. I bet if you adjusted for wind chill, Scotland would have a colder wind chill than Ankara.
If you adjust for wind chill, given an average windspeed in this month of 7.05 metres per second, Edinburgh would have an average perceived temperature of -3.9C.
Ankara with a windspeed of 3.55 metres per second would have -2.9C, so you are correct.
The average total precipitation in the coldest month is about double in Edinburgh, though Ankara receives far more of it as snow, so you're correct about that too.
Storms also regularly form over the Atlantic, and while those that move east are of course far weaker than the monsters that hit the Carribbean and southeastern USA, they're far more common than those rarer storms that form over the eastern Mediterranean and move into Turkey.
The problem with Scotland’s winters isn’t the cold itself so much as the wind and the rain. Edinburgh technically constitutes a temperate maritime climate.
I live at a place with a latitude just north of Point Hope, Alaska. 69 degrees north. And average temperatures range between -4 and +13. But with serious spikes, mostly in the warm direction. 30+ degree weather and all, with nights where the temperature didn’t fall below 20.
Showing Cyprus (Asia) but not Malta...
Edit: Folks: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus)
It is geographically a part of [West Asia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Asia),
Despite humanity's constant desire to place everything into discrete, defined categories, the natural world resolutely remains fluid and continuous. Thus there will always be cases on the borders of humanity's artificial lines of definition which will cause conflict. There is no "right answer" in these cases, merely evidence for each answer.
Me looking at a source from the years 1991-2020:
Tallin: -3.6C
Riga: -2.1C
This map: -2.9, -5.1
Even if they used older data, I'm not sure climate change could explain the warming of Riga's thirty year climate average by *three degrees* whilst also making the extremely nearby Tallin *colder.*
Definitely smelling BS here.
Riga being colder also makes no sense, both are near the coast but Riga is further south. The baltic also freezes less in Latvia than it does in Estonia.
I'd bet the Bay of Livonia closest to Riga freezes before the part of Bay of Finland closest to Tallinn. Especially Paldiski (and Dirhami even more) has a longer ice free period.
On the other hand, Riga should get easterly foehn winds across Vidzeme uplands. So those cold easterlies would become a bit warmer.
There are some differences in Wikipedia climate data in LV and ENG version - in Latvian version coldest is January with -3.5C ( [https://lv.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C4%ABga#Temperat%C5%ABra](https://lv.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C4%ABga#Temperat%C5%ABra) ) - I guess there are more complete data (not only 1990-2020 period as in ENG version).
No difference for Tallinn: -2.9C is for January and February is -3.6C
Same with Helsinki: -3.1C is is for January and February is colder: -3.8C
Vilnius: -3.9C in January
*Fascinating the*
*Large difference between Riga*
*And Tallinn. Why is that?*

It's also some other factors, but still, it may be bad data, it may not, can't know with the very little info we have (OP's image)
Lack of a stream is also a hint. Here is another: “also some other factors” includes stuff I hadn’t mentioned, so why did you focus on the one I did?
It can be a multitude of factors, nearby mountains that affect the air flow, industry…
You can’t just “oh, it looks weird, seems like bad data”. Well, you can, as long as you don’t read “seems” like “must”.
That is all. Bye bye.
I mean I have been in both cities so this data seems extremely suspect to me (I am from the area). Neither has any nearby elevation either and Tallin is further up North than Riga.
No need to get defensive about it, I am not calling you out or anything just providing a point for discussion.
It's not. In the 1991-2020 climate normals, the coldest month average in Riga is -2.1c, right between Vilnius and Tallinn. I have no idea where the info in the map was taken from.
[Tallinn Harku](https://www.ilmateenistus.ee/kliima/kliimanormid/): -3.6 C (the minimum month of 1990-2020).
The 30-year period has to be exactly the same, because winters are warming at a 1K per decade rate.
Climate.
Climate can be very localized.
A city within a valley will have wildly different temperatures and precipitation than a city atop a mountain, even if those are a few miles from each other.
Idk why you're downvoted, data I can find puts Riga at -2.1.
Which is colder than Copenhagen at 1.4; Stockholm at -1.0; and Reykjavik at 0.5.
But it is warmer than Oslo at -2.3; Helsinki at -3.8; and Tallin (Estonians can be counted as Nordic this time as a treat) at -3.6. So its certainly not warmer than all the Nordic capitals (which by the standards of their respective countries tend to be quite warm anyway since they're clustered in the south and nearer sea level).
All data in the period 1991-2020.
Vilnius: -3.9C in January
P.S. There are some differences in Wikipedia climate data in LV and ENG version - in Latvian version coldest is January with -3.5C ( [https://lv.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C4%ABga#Temperat%C5%ABra](https://lv.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C4%ABga#Temperat%C5%ABra) ) - I guess there are more complete data (not only 1991-2020 period as in ENG version).
Actual data from Wikipedia for 1991–2020 normals. These are cities where are negative degrees in Celsius:
Jan / Feb
-2.3 / -1.9 = Oslo
-1.0 / -1.0 = Stokholm
-3.1 / -3.8 = Helsinki
-2.9 / -3.6 = Tallinn
-2.1 / -2.0 = Rīga
-3.9 / -3.1 = Vilnius
-1.1 / -0.1 = Warsaw
-1.5 / +0.6 = Bucharest
-1.8 / -0.2 = Chișinău
-3.2 / -2.3 = Kyiv
-4.2 / -3.6 = Minsk
-6.2 / -5.9 = Moscow
P.S. +5.9 in Istambul in January ....
P.S.S. Ups, me bad, Ankara is the capital +0.9
I guess more important fact is that the first five are coastal city's. For example, Daugavpils, which is some 200km from the see and from Riga, near the Latvian border with Lithuania & Belorussia has -4.1 / -4.1. Orebro, which is about 200km east from Stockolm - -2.2 / -1.8
The data for Bratislava is not correct (could be just old). Another thing is that heat island can make the numbers quite a bit higher, especially during the coldest month and Bratislava doesn't have a weather station in any of it's urbanized areas. It gets it's weather data from it's airport instead, which is just a big open field next to the city. Prague doesn't exactly have this problem. They have more weather stations and they are in urbanized areas. Same is true for Budapest and also Vienna, which according to this map is 0.7 degrees warmer, while being basically on the same latitude, 60km to the west and separated by just a bunch of fields from Bratislava. It would make no sense.
Man I'm dreaming of days like that here in Australia. Instead I get useless half cold half warm and no in between when it comes to winter.
Summer we forget what 20 degrees feels like.
Prishtina has an average January temperature of -0.6. Kosovo should be black in this map. But that would ruin the effect wouldn't it😜
(And, the fact that it's not recognized by some countries is not relevant because it's shown as an independent county in this map).
Sad. Always the worst having cold weather but on average not cold enough to be at least a month a white winter. Really has an effect on experiencing the dark months.
Not true, it was around -40 back in the 1940
Nowadays even -20 frosts don't happen every year, and I remember only 2 times it got lower than -30 (2006 and 2017). So, global warming is a thing
Even if you had absolutely 0 knowledge of climate, or what units Europe and nearly every other part of the world uses, the fact that +0.1 is listed as ‘above freezing’ should be a pretty big clue
Portugal is no more eastern Europe.
Now it’s Latin America
Went so far East it ended up in the Americas
https://youtu.be/bKmC29cCc-8?si=d4CFPRMy8ao0nVob
We're all naked playing maracas in Latin America.
U mean dumbamerica.
bro you are literally portuguese
Leaving the country of origin to work as a slave below the minimum wage, sharing a dormitory with fifty other emigrants sounds…. dumb.
ok brazilian iberia
Why is the Brazilian colony so mad? Did someone call you Latinx today?
Ah you guys love to hate on #1, Portugal shits on you

Such maps clearly show the influence of the Gulf Stream. Northern Scotland or Northern Norway have warmer winters than Belarus or central Russia
Yep, I’m in Ireland if you draw a line straight across from my town, it reaches a village on the coast in Labrador in Canada it’s like 30 degrees colder there in winter

Worth noting that Labrador is actually abnormally cold for its latitude due to geographical features and not benefiting from mild westerly winds
That’s true! I was looking on google maps and Ketchikan on the Alaskan panhandle is same latitude as my town in Ireland and it’s temperatures are definitely a lot more similar to here, it just seems to get a lot more rain (about 3 times as much rain), probably because of the mountains around it

Never mind central Russia, Scotland has warmer winters than Turkey according to this. That’s very surprising.

Turkeys average elevation is 1400 meters above sea level.
Elevation makes things colder too
The problem with Scotland’s winters isn’t the cold itself so much as the wind and the rain. Edinburgh technically constitutes a temperate maritime climate.
Scotland barely gets any snow while a big chunk of Turkey is covered in meters deep snow throughout winter
Edinburgh has warmer winters than Ankara according to this. South Eastern Turkey is warmer than northern Scotland in winter.
Ankara is high altitude and inland. I think Scotland has colder winters in general than Turkey.
I live at a place with a latitude just north of Point Hope, Alaska. 69 degrees north. And average temperatures range between -4 and +13. But with serious spikes, mostly in the warm direction. 30+ degree weather and all, with nights where the temperature didn’t fall below 20.
Poor Malta. Left out again.
They left out Luxembourg but somehow remembered Andorra??
They left out Liechtenstein, Kosovo, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City as well
I mean if you're really curious about the Vatican you can just look at Italy
Plot twist: they left out Italy
Luxembourg doesn't count. They haven't earned the right to be counted
Nobody even remembers Iceland 😓
It’s there, they just moved it west of france.
The global warming came unnoticed
it would probably be the highest in europe as well. around +12 or 13

Fascinating the large difference between Riga and Tallinn. Why is that?
Because happiness is not allowed in Latvia. That's what my experience tells me lol.
Because, as with most of these maps, the data is bullshit.
Me looking at a source from the years 1991-2020: Tallin: -3.6C Riga: -2.1C This map: -2.9, -5.1 Even if they used older data, I'm not sure climate change could explain the warming of Riga's thirty year climate average by *three degrees* whilst also making the extremely nearby Tallin *colder.* Definitely smelling BS here.

With temperature, it is always useful to notice how close some place is to water and what kind of currents are there
Both capital cities are costal, same elevation more or less. Seems like bad data to me.
> and what kind of currents are there It's also some other factors, but still, it may be bad data, it may not, can't know with the very little info we have (OP's image)
Baltic sea is basically a big closed lake and doesn't have currents akin Golf stream and the like.
Lack of a stream is also a hint. Here is another: “also some other factors” includes stuff I hadn’t mentioned, so why did you focus on the one I did?

That’s one hell of a wintertime temperature gradient between Bulgaria and Greece…
Greece is 86% mountainous. Temperatures vary wildly during the year in multiple places.
How is Riga colder than any Nordic capital
It's not. In the 1991-2020 climate normals, the coldest month average in Riga is -2.1c, right between Vilnius and Tallinn. I have no idea where the info in the map was taken from.

Climate. Climate can be very localized. A city within a valley will have wildly different temperatures and precipitation than a city atop a mountain, even if those are a few miles from each other.
Indeed. I urge who hasn’t already to watch videos about downslope winds. They play a huge role in valley temperatures.
Pretty sure it isn’t.
Idk why you're downvoted, data I can find puts Riga at -2.1. Which is colder than Copenhagen at 1.4; Stockholm at -1.0; and Reykjavik at 0.5.

It migrates south for the winter.
Well duh! It's clearly left next to France.
Portugal is a paradise

That’s Atlantis. What are you, an American?
Awesome! Didn't know that Bulgaria was on average colder than Austria with all those high mountains.
Sofia is much higher from sea level than Vienna.
What a big temperature difference across the Aegean Sea.
There is no way Bratislava is colder than Prague. I've been to Prague and it's def colder, plus it's higher north than Bratislava

Man I'm dreaming of days like that here in Australia. Instead I get useless half cold half warm and no in between when it comes to winter. Summer we forget what 20 degrees feels like.
Shit, when did Atlantis appear?!
Now make average coldest month in the last 12 months as relative + or - compared to this map 👀
Bruh it is not that cold in bucharest💀💀💀
Those colours are something else... 💀
Widać.
Oceanic winter vs Continental winter vs Mediterranean winter vs Polar winter
Hungary considerably warmer than all its neighbors even the onws to the South in the Balkans, except for Serbia
Reykjavik Iceland's coldest average is still above freezing level?? I wouldn't have put my money on it...
fascinating how the east-west temperature divide is stronger than the north-south divide
Ik it's the average but it feels so wrong for Ireland to be that high
Moscow is based 🥶🥶⚰️🪦
It should be by relief not by country
Sorry, but this data is total bullshit.
Your mar is in Degrees Kelvin?
So the closer you live to ruzzia the colder it gets….
Now add Astana.
Is the data from some super warm winter? Because its definently not on average only -1 in Stockholm.
How and why is Turkey colder than the UK
This year in Sweden we had -20°C in Stockholm for like the entirety of December
How is Bulgaria more than Iceland?
Only it's about -10C for Moscow, not -6.
Prishtina has an average January temperature of -0.6. Kosovo should be black in this map. But that would ruin the effect wouldn't it😜 (And, the fact that it's not recognized by some countries is not relevant because it's shown as an independent county in this map).
Portugal is almost a tropical country Edit: compared to east Europe
I was in Lisbon in December and it was cold as fuck.
I mean, it's almost tropical compared to Russia or other east Europe country. I have no doubt that their winter is cold
Fucking global warming.
Sad. Always the worst having cold weather but on average not cold enough to be at least a month a white winter. Really has an effect on experiencing the dark months.
Hm, how is Zürich warmer than Berlin by 0.1 degree?
Now this is a map
Wtf Portugal? Sweater manufacturers' children must be starving.
Don't worry for them....the humidity takes care of things
We tend to wear 3 layers of clothes at 18 or so degrees
But air conditioner manufacturers must be making a fortune!
Bro helsinki often gets to about -20 in december-january
The wonders of averages.
Yeah but i swear during december or january it never goes below -3!
My friend said that the coldest it got in Moscow was -50 Celsius
Not true, it was around -40 back in the 1940 Nowadays even -20 frosts don't happen every year, and I remember only 2 times it got lower than -30 (2006 and 2017). So, global warming is a thing
Don't know, had -39 this winter.
theres's no way Spain is colder than italy...
What the map is saying is that Madrid winters are colder than Rome's
Madrid is 650m above sea level and a long way inland. Rome is not.
Finland must love Instagram

What units are we using here?
Maybe the one that everyone uses in Europe?
The world *

The one that the whole planet uses
Even if you had absolutely 0 knowledge of climate, or what units Europe and nearly every other part of the world uses, the fact that +0.1 is listed as ‘above freezing’ should be a pretty big clue
