From Britain, the climatic belt stretches far inland into the lowlands of North-West Europe, including such regions as northern and western France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, western Norway, and also north-western Iberia.
There is so much oceanic influence on both the temperature and the precipitation that the climate is also referred to as the:
Consider the following statements:
1. In North America, the high Rockies prevent the on-shore Westerlies from penetrating far inland.

Winters are abnormally mild, and no stations actually record mean January temperatures below freezing-point in northwestern Europe.
Consider the following statements:
1. The climate of the maritime regions as a whole may be described as equable with moderately warm summers and fairly mild winters.
2. Tasmania that the British type of climate in the southern hemisphere is even more equable.
Choose the correct code:
Lack of continental landmasses in Tasmania, New Zealand, and southern Chile means that extremes of temperature are not likely at all. Hobart has mid-summer temperatures of not more than 62°F. while its coldest month in July (winter in the southern hemisphere) is barely below 46°F.
Consider the following statements:
1. The British type of climate has adequate rainfall throughout the year with a tendency towards a slight winter or autumn maximum from cyclonic sources.
2. The rain-bearing winds come from the east, the eastern margins have the heaviest rainfall.
Choose the correct code:
The rain-bearing winds come from the west, the western margins have the heaviest rainfall. The amount decreases eastwards with increasing distance from the sea.
Consider the following statements:
1. Relief can make great differences in the annual amount.
2. In the British climate type light snowfalls can be expected in the winter months.
Choose the correct code:
- Western slopes of the Southern Alps of South Island, New Zealand have as much as 200 inches of rainfall (mainly orographic rain) while the Canterbury Plain, in the rain-shadow area, has as little as 25 inches.
- The Lake District of Britain has well over 100 inches in contrast to only 24 inches in East Anglia.
