  • Winter - Average is around 0 degrees C, and in the warmest areas, 20.
    • (Based on proximity to ocean) 
  • Summer - Around but rarely above 27 degrees C.
    • There is not a large temperature range over a few degrees C, primarily in the alternation from one season to another (winter to summer)
  • Why such moderate temperatures??? Well, generally they are in between oceans and mountain ranges, which allows for temperature modification
