climate

Like Ostwestfalen-Lippe, woodlice belongs to the oceanic climatic area of northwest Germany , to which it owes its low temperature differences and mild winters. However, continental influences are already at work . The temperature in summer is higher and the nights are cooler than in closer proximity to the coast. The location on the edge of the Egge Mountains causes a submontane climate of the low mountain range with cooler temperatures and higher precipitation than in other locations in the district.
