Climate in Ostwestfalen-Lippe

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Topographic map of the region

The climate in Ostwestfalen-Lippe is determined by its location in the oceanic-continental transition area of Central Europe and by its location in the transition area between low mountain ranges and the North German lowlands . Ostwestfalen-Lippe lies in the area of ​​the sub-Atlantic maritime climate, but has very weak continental influences in places.

description

Temperature distribution (annual mean temperature) in Ostwestfalen-Lippe
Precipitation distribution (annual precipitation) in Ostwestfalen-Lippe

The Atlantic climatic area is characterized by relatively evenly distributed and regular precipitation and relatively mild and a relatively balanced temperature over the year . The winters are mostly mild under the influence of the Atlantic and the summers are moderately warm. The climate is less continental . Under this influence, the temperature in winter tends to be colder, in summer tends to be warmer, and precipitation tends to be lower than under the influence of the predominantly sea climate. The topology of the area, however, causes a relatively uneven distribution of precipitation and temperatures within Ostwestfalen-Lippe.

The climate in Ostwestfalen-Lippe is on average significantly cooler and has more precipitation than most of North Rhine-Westphalia , but comparable to the climate of the northern Sauerland .

temperature

The basin locations of the Ravensberger Hügelland , the Weser Valley and the Westphalian Bight as well as the north in the North German Plain are on average up to 2 degrees Celsius warmer than the low mountain regions Wiehengebirge , Wesergebirge , Lipper Bergland , but especially the Teutoburg Forest , Eggegebirge and Paderborn plateau . In the basins and the Weser Valley, spring arrives up to two weeks earlier.

Rainfall

The prevailing wind direction from the southwest brings regular rainfall from the Atlantic . In particular, on the south (-western) side ( windward side ) of the above-mentioned low mountain range regions, in particular the Teutoburg Forest, the Egge Mountains and the Paderborn plateau, there are pronounced incline rain . The Teutoburg Forest and the Egge Mountains are "rain catchers". Here the amount of precipitation is 1000 mm, sometimes over 1200 mm. To the east of it are areas with little precipitation such as the Warburger Börde - with precipitation of only 700–750 mm. In particular, the basin areas are protected against the incline rain by their location. The prevailing wind direction from the southwest partially leads to the drying out of the soil , especially on the Paderborn plateau and encourages the spread of heather-like landscapes such as the Senne near Paderborn .
