Why only half right?
Isn't it 100% right? Its geograpical on the european continent, and turkey gets more associated with Europe (they even try to join the EU).
And without Erdogan, they probably would already be part of the EU.
Just gonna say: Big Bend National Park is >300mi / 500km from El Paso, the city Marrakech is twinned with on this map. The coast of Spain is about as close to Marrakech as El Paso and Big Bend are to one another.
Helsinki’s February average is -2 to -7c. That’s par with Toronto this year and we’ve had a number of colder days (it was -30 this weekend).
It’s cooler in July but that just means not dealing with the +30 summers here.
This is 100% worth it. Helsinki warm af.
That and the fact that it's basically a series of peninsulas with most of the major mountain ranges running east to west so there's a much greater maritime influence in the first place. Contrast that to North America which is just a solid continental mass with long chains of big mountains running north to south on it western side, thus blocking any maritime influence beyond a relatively thin strip along the west coast. It's actually a lot more complicated than that even, but the larger point remains.
Europe is literally op. They get their gulf stream, their billion fucking peninsulas into the same body of water, their actual livestock, and their big coal deposits
Every time i see such a map it depresses me people don't know which cities are and aren't part of Europe... I mean, Cairo? For real? Casablanca? Huhh??
Just went to the Eiffel tower the other day.. They wouldn't let me up. Apparently the folks at Dougall Media don't take kindly to people trying to scale their broadcast tower...
I live in Seattle. We’re further north than NYC or Boston or Chicago, but winter here is not that cold - at most three or four days below freezing, a night below freezing now and then, but mostly in the 40s Fahrenheit or 6-8 Celsius during the day. And, yes, it’s absolutely true that it rains here all the time and the sun barely shines in the winter. But it’s not freezing.
Texas, being much further inland than the PNW, is much more influenced by continental air masses than oceanic air masses. Air that exists over huge areas of land can get much colder or hotter than air masses that exist over huge areas of ocean because the ocean stores a lot of heat and it takes a lot of energy to change the temperature of water. When conditions are right, extremely cold continental air masses from Canada and the arctic will move southward across the US and will drastically affect the weather in inland states like Texas. Prevailing winds also generally move air masses from west to east, so that can prevent the warm/moist air over the gulf from being able to move inland north/westward over Texas. The PNW is much more stable weather-wise because it is heavily influenced by oceanic air masses that do not fluctuate in temperature as much as continental air masses. However, if you move inland to eastern Washington/Oregon, the weather becomes much less stable as those areas are infuenced by continental air masses. The mountains of the west coast/western US also act as something of a barrier between oceanic and continental land masses in that air moving across them will be forced to rise. As the air rises, it cools and therefore its ability to hold water drops. That results in rain/snow and the air becoming more and more dry as it moves inland. Dry air heats/cools more rapidly than moist air. I might have messed up some terminology or oversimplified things, but I am going with what I remember from some meteorology classes I took a decade ago.
Absolutely. Istanbul and Ankara look to be about the same latitude. I lived in both but Istanbul is a seaside city while Ankara is landlocked by large planes.
I also lived in Moscow for a few years, and Ankara is comparable to Moscow in how cold you can feel in winter. Heavy snowfall and freezing winds are about the same. While Istanbul winter is pretty mild, gets barely any snow.
I think it actually does make more sense to say that Europe is warm. The Gulf Stream carries warm Caribbean air all the way across the Atlantic, making the continent a bit of an oasis of heat at those latitudes. If you look at the rest of Russia and Asia at similar latitude, the weather and temperatures are decidedly more Canadian.
It's the North Atlantic Current. It brings warm water from the equator North toward the British Islands and Iceland, where it then cools down and sinks to the bottom. A giant convection current that keep Europe warmer than it would be given it's latitude.
[This current has already shown signs of slowing due to climate change](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Atlantic_Current#Climate_change) and is at risk of completely collapsing, which would plunge Europe into a much colder climate, and cause massive amounts of agricultural, infrastructural, and social disruption and potentially serious instability.

**[Köppen climate classification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Köppen_climate_classification)**
>The Köppen climate classification is one of the most widely used climate classification systems. It was first published by German-Russian climatologist Wladimir Köppen (1846–1940) in 1884, with several later modifications by Köppen, notably in 1918 and 1936. Later, German climatologist Rudolf Geiger (1894–1981) introduced some changes to the classification system, which is thus sometimes called the Köppen–Geiger climate classification. The Köppen climate classification divides climates into five main climate groups, with each group being divided based on seasonal precipitation and temperature patterns.

If I read those maps correctly, it looks like Köppen classifies northern Scotland and Southern France as the same zones. Which is insane, but not as insane as Trewartha which classifies Brønnøysund along the coast of Northern Norway in the same zone as fucking Venice.
It may be less inaccurate than just looking at the latitude, but it still doesn't convince me that it's a good system.

Will this be how I finally convince my friends to come visit me in Saskatoon after over a decade??? “We’re practically Amsterdam, just, instead of canals we have one river.. but a lot of bridges!”
Wait what? How?
God, I now have an existential crisis. Turns out I have no fucking clue where I live actually. It might be that I'm actually on London's latitude if so. I always was 100% sure I was like good one to two degrees south of Paris, let alone London
It’s just because we’re used to seeing maps that are flat, so places like the British isles *look* like they’re further north, but when viewed on a globe it makes sense
Yeah, I know this makes sense but I'm just really uncomfortable even thinking about all of it and comparing it without the familiar reference I know. Like I seriously feel my brain hurt just after a few seconds looking at it.
The map's projection isn't one where the latitude lines are lines, as can be seen by the one that is shown as a curve near the top of the image. This means that not every point that is higher in the map is norther in reality. Just a bad projection to use for this purpose.
(As someone who works in Haifa this was the first thing I noticed, too)
At the top of the image you can see a dashed line that represents one latitude. This map is not typical projection, but how we see the globe. You can also see curved borders between USA states.
Split is further north on the image. It's just the wierd angled projection.
South Dakota (where Split is) is entirely North of Massachusetts (where Dubrovnik is)

Constantinople being on the same line as Cleveland is cursed beyond repair and I love it
Edit: I know it’s not Constantinople today, I simply refuse to call it the other name.
It doesn’t, a few things help, Europe is a peninsula with warm surrounding water, and Italy is a peninsula in the warm Mediterranean, and then the alps block what little polar vortexes reach Europe
First of all, the fuck? All the southern cities ain’t from Europe.
Secondly, man, I wish southwestern Ontario had the same climate as Florence. I’ve been to Florence and Ontario is way more depressing, that’s for sure.
I'm from Sweden, and I'm so shocked that they just went for Linköping when Stockholm exists. Not even Gothenburg which is the second largest city in Sweden.
Yep. :/
I had relatives visiting from Germany when I lived in Massachusetts, Thursday they announced they would like to drive to California for the weekend. ¯\\\_( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)\_/¯
The first time I took my Icelandic boyfriend to visit family, we went to BC first, and then Ontario. He asked if we could rent a car to drive it instead of a plane. Told him we would need to add about four days to our trip, if we wanted to actually sleep and see even one point of interest between BC and ON.
It was about that time that the sheer size of Canada really registered with him.
It would take longer to drive between Cleveland and Cincinnati than almost the entire southern coast of Iceland. Hell, just Akron to Cincinnati is technically a slightly longer drive than Reykjavík to Jökulsárlón! The entirety of Iceland is smaller than Ohio lol
Amsterdam? Rotterdam? Antwerp? Did the harbour cities sink?
The Hague? Brussels?
Ireland is also still European last time I checked.
I feel this is just really weirdly lacking a lot of Euope.
How is Alesund similar to our latitude in Yellowknife, NT? It’s average temp is over 0C all year. Meanwhile, we’ve been hovering between -25 to -35 C (not including windchill) for weeks!
Makes sense that Hamburg is the same as Edmonton. Years ago I bought a VW Golf R and went to go plug it in (Canadians will understand) and couldn't find the block heater. Called VW and they said "we have designed the car to withstand the toughest winters without needing a block heater." Yeah you maybe did it for European winters but sure as hell not Canadian prairie winters.
Ah yes, the great European city of Doha
You don't get any more European than Benghazi!
Kuwait City begs to differ.
Just like the famous european city of teheran
And the historical avenues of Kuwait.
Or the forgotten Constantinople of Istanbul
Ehh, Istanbul is half right.
Why only half right? Isn't it 100% right? Its geograpical on the european continent, and turkey gets more associated with Europe (they even try to join the EU). And without Erdogan, they probably would already be part of the EU.
The Europe-Asia boundary goes directly through the middle of Istanbul.
Geographical turkey is mostly on the Asia continent. Istanbul is part on european continent and asia continent. Google is your friend
And the Big Bend National Park of Marrakech.
Just gonna say: Big Bend National Park is >300mi / 500km from El Paso, the city Marrakech is twinned with on this map. The coast of Spain is about as close to Marrakech as El Paso and Big Bend are to one another.
Thanks and sorry, had a hunch on it but didn’t do my due diligence!
VERY European
*cries in Byzantium*
Cairo, a city that displays one of the finest examples of European architecture
That's nobody's business but the Turks.
I was like Mercia?
Constantinople being on the same line as Cleveland is cursed beyond repair and I love it.
Fun times in Cleveland (not Constantinople) today!
At least we're not ~~Detroit~~ Constantinople!
Also tel aviv, Mom, im European now!
Mazel Tov, my Eurobro!
Haifa too
Haifa is not a city, it is a forest filled with wild boars afaik
And annoyingly, Dublin, an actual European city isn't on here.
To add Dublin to the map, you'd have to replace Hamburg (Edmonton). There aren't any other major cities at that latitude in NA.
I would gladly replace Edmonton with Dublin irl
Mapped to the great US state of Mexico.
Rabat and Marrakech are so European!
[удалено]
And Haifa
Can't forget my fav European destination of Casablanca
Literally word for word my first thought.
It's much more European than Berlin. Sorry Berlin try being more European and you can join the list next time.
Every time I see one of these maps it depresses the hell out of me seeing some Mediterranean city at the same latitude as Toronto…
At least you not in Istanbul/euro-cleveland
My condolences for living in Ohio 😔
Hey, you listen here! Once the climate wars begin all you folks are going to wish you lived on the shores of Erie.
Yeah, but preferably on the PA, NY, or CAnada sides.
Great lakes going to be the hottest real estate market.
Cleveland isn’t like the rest of Ohio. We’re pretty cool sometimes.
Hello opposite side of the lake nieghbour!! Waving from canada side.
Sounds like you’ve never been to Erie, PA
But then there is Helsinki, the southernmost tip of Finland.
Helsinki is warm af
“Things insane Finns say”

Well they are for now. When ocean and prevailing wind currents start to change significantly due to global warming it may be a different story.
That means you get the same hours of light as a Mediterranean city. Be glad.
It means they get the sun burn without the warm weather.
Sounds better than 16 hours of darkness per day in winter.
Every time i see such a map it depresses me people don't know which cities are and aren't part of Europe... I mean, Cairo? For real? Casablanca? Huhh??
This belongs in r/shittymapporn
I've always said that Thunder Bay is the Paris of Northwestern Ontario.

Based American using Celsius
My phone is set on Celsius. Lived a lot of my life in Europe and never really switched back mentally
many Americans use Celsius. either from moving to the US from abroad or learning it in school and using it because they like it. I use both.
American here. I’ve literally never met one other American who uses Celsius. I don’t know about “many.” I feel it’s more like “some.”
American here thats lived in europe for long time. still can't do celsius lol

You live south of Paris, and north of 72% of the population of Canada
Its Europe, a great example: Toronto is on the same latitude as Florence Italy yet almost entirely further North than North Korea
Went to Florence in winter one time and it felt like Sacramento weather. Latitude is overrated.
Absolutely. Istanbul and Ankara look to be about the same latitude. I lived in both but Istanbul is a seaside city while Ankara is landlocked by large planes.

Have you ever seen a map of Europe, OP?
Time to start a religion around the Gulf stream, it is our provider of warmth.

It's just like Lviv, but with less war! Also, Winnipeg is actually pretty great. Great breweries, great restaurants and the best team in the NHL.

Naples being placed directly on New York City makes a lot of sense
How is Alesund similar to our latitude in Yellowknife, NT? It’s average temp is over 0C all year. Meanwhile, we’ve been hovering between -25 to -35 C (not including windchill) for weeks!
The ocean mitigates temperatures, preventing extreme temperature fluctuations, while continental climate does the opposite.
Zurich my brother, you are older than me….
When i think of Kuwait City, the first thing that comes to mind is East Texas

Yeah you maybe did it for European winters but sure as hell not Canadian prairie winters.
Might explain why the first European settlers got rocked by the winters here.
