Meriilmastoja

Meriilmastoja, also known as meri-ilmastoja in Finnish, refers to a type of marine climate characterized by mild temperatures and moderate precipitation throughout the year. This climate type is typically found in coastal regions and is influenced by the proximity to large bodies of water, such as oceans or seas. The moderating effect of the water results in relatively stable temperatures, with small seasonal variations.

In meriilmastoja, summers are generally cool and wet, while winters are mild and relatively dry. The average temperature in the summer months typically ranges from 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F), and in the winter months, it ranges from 5°C to 10°C (41°F to 50°F). Precipitation is evenly distributed throughout the year, with no distinct dry season.

This climate type is often associated with foggy conditions, particularly in the morning, due to the influence of the nearby water bodies. The fog tends to dissipate as the day progresses, allowing for clear skies and pleasant weather conditions.

Meriilmastoja is prevalent in various regions around the world, including parts of Western Europe, such as the British Isles and parts of Norway, as well as in coastal areas of North America, such as the Pacific Northwest. The climate's mild and relatively stable conditions make it suitable for a variety of ecosystems and human activities, including agriculture, tourism, and outdoor recreation.
