Central European transitional climate
The Central European transitional climate is an expression for a sub-zone of the Atlantic influenced climate province in the area of influence of the northern dam on the Alps and Bohemian Massif .
This type of climate extends from Lake Constance through the Allgäu and the Bavarian Alps and the reservoirs of the Alpine foothills to the Austrian granite and gneiss plateau , where polar-subpolar influence increasingly prevails. In the south the transition to the alpine climate province forms in the peripheral Alps , in the east to the Pannonian influenced zone.
The zone forms an entanglement area, which, according to the Köppen / Geiger classification, comprises the foothills of the boreal fully humid climate type Dfb in the west and islands of the cool, temperate, humid climate Cfb of Western Europe in the east.
Other areas that cannot be assigned to a maritime or continental climate are also referred to as transitional climates .
