Thank you Germany: Part 025: Mild climate makes for a pleasant life

The mild climate is another reason to love Germany. While other countries struggle with extreme temperatures, this country has a pleasant average. In winter, it doesn't get so cold that it's impossible to go for a walk. And most summer days also have tolerable temperatures. This has a positive effect on the quality of life. The country also offers its inhabitants enough sunshine to prevent depressive moods even in winter. Throughout the year, the climate provides the opportunity to grow many fruits and different types of vegetables. Apart from tropical fruits, a wide range of fruit and vegetables grow in Germany. Many Germans grow some of it for themselves.

In some cases, this covers their own food requirements. However, some people simply enjoy looking after a small plant and watching it grow. Thanks to the pleasant temperatures, holidays can also be spread flexibly throughout the year. If you are not tied to school holidays, you can spend a great holiday in Germany almost all year round. The mild climate makes for a great time. While people from countries with hotter temperatures often have heated discussions, many Germans keep their cool. The climate also has a positive effect on the mentality of some people. But Germans also have no problem getting along with hotheads.

Another part of the country's population also appreciates the pleasant temperatures: many dogs and cats find exactly the right conditions for a comfortable life here. It is neither too hot nor too cold when the animals walk through the garden or the neighbourhood. A cosy pet will tempt its owners out for a nice walk at any time of year. The average climate also ensures that the summer months last a comparatively long time. This is appreciated by all people who have discovered summer as the most beautiful of all seasons. The geographical location of the country and the climate zone of the republic ensure that they get their money's worth. Anyone who has ever spent time in a hot desert or experienced a prolonged rainy season in an Asian country will really appreciate the special qualities of Germany.

You simply have to appreciate the country for its pleasant conditions as a human being. When you leave the house here, you know where you stand. And minor changes or rainfall are reliably and accurately predicted by a reliable weather service. So walkers know exactly when they need an umbrella and when the umbrella is only a good help in providing shade. In other regions of the world, people have to contend with sudden changes in the weather and are confronted with dry spells or rainfall that can paralyse entire regions. In Germany, there is at most the occasional heavy flood. And even these can only be expected at very long intervals. If heavy rain does occur, the fire brigade and civil defence services are quickly on hand to help people out.
