Assessment

Once the lead summarizes the article below, and there are sections for items like temperature, precipitation, and severe weather, we can upgrade this to Start or C class, depending upon the level of its apparent completion. Thegreatdr (talk) 16:26, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please, also mention the advantages of climate of europe .

Last Sentence

"Europe uses its own tornado scale, known as the DA TWISTY, which ranges from a a slight twist for extremely weak tornadoes to extremely twisty twist for the most powerful known tornadoes.[30]" This is the last sentence of the article. Used to be "Europe uses its own tornado scale, known as the TORRO scale, which ranges from a T0 for extremely weak tornadoes to T11 for the most powerful known tornadoes." Don't know how to fix.

European Union

I recently attempted to create a list of pages detailing the climate of individual countries within the EU. This list was deleted and the page Climate of the European Union redirected here. I would like to propose that a list of the climates of individual countries of Europe be added to this page, possibly as a template. Jpjacobs.00 (talk) 16:38, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a good idea for a template. Even if half the "Climate of wherever" links are red, It would encourage article creation (i hope). Totnesmartin (talk) 17:50, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Forgotten Europe!

Why? Why? Why? Why are the Canary Islands dismissed when it comes to Europe? Do people not know that the Canary Islands are part of Spain? It's awful to see maps of Europe without the Canaries! They are not mentioned in this article - Climate of Europe! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tatwalsh (talkcontribs) 11:34, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that the Canary Islands' political connection to Spain makes them part of Europe geographically. The French island of Réunion is also an outermost region of the EU but it would be bizarre to think of it as being in Europe - especially in terms of climate!

Number of Precipitation Days on Map

What could be the cause of the large difference in number of precipitation days for Amsterdam (indicated as 132) and Brussels (indicated as 199)? From http://www.klimaatatlas.nl/klimaatatlas.php?wel=neerslag&ws=kaart&wom=Gemiddeld%20aantal%20dagen%20met%201.0%20mm%20of%20meer I gather that Amsterdam has approximately between 135 and 140 days annually with 1.0 mm or more of precipitation. From http://www.frankdeboosere.be/klimaatukkel/klimaatregendagen.php I gather that Uccle (in Brussels' agglomeration) has 199 days annually with 0.1 mm or more of precipitation. These numbers are relatively close to and equal to the figures presented on the map, respectively, but both numbers are not based on the same definition of precipitation days. So I suspect that the figures used in the map are not all based on the same definition. Could the author of the map disclose the origin of the figures?Redav (talk) 21:42, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I absolutely agree on this. I have seen this error many times and I am almost certain that what you describe is exactly what happened. There are TWO ways of measuring precipitation (>0.1mmm and >1mm) and they are obviously not the same. There should be a source for this map. This being said, I have also had a look at the sunshine hours map, and it seems to be wrong as well for some places. Sources, please! --Polvuletz (talk) 16:30, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Köppen map

I have mentioned this already in other Wikipedia articles. The Köppen map of Europe is wrong. There are three "blobs" in the western part of Germany which make absolutely no sense. In fact, all of western Germany is Cfb (oceanic climate). There is no way that (1) the area around Münster, close to the Netherlands, and (2) the Saarland are Dfb, which means continental climate. There is absolutely no data to back this. Look it up, you'll see. Then, there is this clear green blob north of the Bodensee (Lake Constance), which indicates that this area is Cfa (hot summer oceanic). Again, this is total fantasy, look it up, this area is Cfb, just like the rest of the west. If any region in Germany were to be hot enough in summer to match Cfa, it would be the Rhine valley but certainly not this mountainous region. It's really frustrating, but nobody is ever reacting to my remarks in the discussion pages, so I really wonder what is the need for such a page if nobody ever cares when there are errors? --Polvuletz (talk) 16:17, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Canaries/Madeira not in Europe geographically

Someone insists on reporting Canaries/Madeira as been a part of geographical Europe. These are only politically in Europe as are many areas in the equator that belong to various EU countries. These are irrelevant to the climate of geographical Europe Weatherextremes (talk) 19:17, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Weatherextremes: This page doesn't refer to "geographical Europe" itself but I agree here, although their political status is more different than other European Union overseas territories, but I agree. --TechnicianGB (talk) 19:25, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Temperature table

I believe the temperatures (at least the maximum ones) for Copenhagen are wrong. The source appears to be correct but they were typed wrong on the article here. Please someone doublecheck and correct it if possible or I may also do it at a later time however I have trouble reading danish in the source's link so it's better if someone who speaks danish does it.

A ton of unsourced information.

Where are the sources that prove which are the warmest and coldest places in Europe? I shall remember that putting a plain source showing climate averages to "prove" this kind of information is considered WP:SYNTH because the source doesn't specify this, it just shows plain climate data. I will copy and paste what WP:SYNTH (based on WP:OR) is considered:

Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any source. Similarly, do not combine different parts of one source to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by the source. If one reliable source says A and another reliable source says B, do not join A and B together to imply a conclusion C not mentioned by either of the sources. This would be improper editorial synthesis of published material to imply a new conclusion, which is original research.

This applies to several users that have edited this wikipage. We should stick to Wikipedia's Guidelines when it comes to edit, not to original research. Also combining 2 sources to reach a conclusion not stated by any source is still OR/SYNTH just as shown in the wikipage of WP:SYNTH. We need reliable sources that prove such statements.

Seattle and Rennes comparison

@RetroCosmos, I see you have reverted my deletion on Seattle and Rennes. The climates are both West coast climates, so they don't work well in this comparison (the comparsion is specifically about comparing Western Europe to east-side or continental climates). Also the 'sourced content' is 'sourced' to the climate data of Yakutsk. Uness232 (talk) 09:42, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, sorry about that. No further objections from me then.RetroCosmos (talk) 09:45, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the quick reply and your understanding. Uness232 (talk) 09:48, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
