An Entity of Type: island, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The British Isles are an archipelago off the northwest coast of Europe, consisting of the islands of Great Britain and Ireland along with smaller surrounding ones. Its position allows dry continental air from Eurasia to meet wetter air from the Atlantic Ocean, which causes the weather to be highly variable, often changing many times during the day. It is defined as a temperate oceanic climate, or Cfb on the Köppen climate classification system. It is significantly warmer than other regions on the same latitude, previously thought to be due to the warmth provided by the Gulf Stream; however, this has been disproven, and most of the mild temperatures have been linked to the Rocky Mountains and the heat storing capabilities of the North Atlantic Ocean. Temperatures do not often switch between

dbo:abstract
  • The British Isles are an archipelago off the northwest coast of Europe, consisting of the islands of Great Britain and Ireland along with smaller surrounding ones. Its position allows dry continental air from Eurasia to meet wetter air from the Atlantic Ocean, which causes the weather to be highly variable, often changing many times during the day. It is defined as a temperate oceanic climate, or Cfb on the Köppen climate classification system. It is significantly warmer than other regions on the same latitude, previously thought to be due to the warmth provided by the Gulf Stream; however, this has been disproven, and most of the mild temperatures have been linked to the Rocky Mountains and the heat storing capabilities of the North Atlantic Ocean. Temperatures do not often switch between great extremes, with warm summers and mild winters. (en)
  • Le Isole britanniche sono al centro della Corrente del Golfo, quindi il clima è atlantico con precipitazioni abbondanti, con inverni miti ed estati fresche. Episodi come gelate o nevicate, in inverno, sono molto rari. L'umidità diminuisce verso est: l'Irlanda quindi è molto più piovosa della Gran Bretagna. I fiumi sono brevi, ma ricchi di acque grazie alle piogge, sono navigabili per lunghi tratti e sui loro ampi estuari sono presenti dei porti. I più importanti sono il Tamigi, il Severn e il Trent in Gran Bretagna e lo Shannon in Irlanda. Il clima è molto umido e le temperature massime superano di rado i 30 gradi. (it)
