Northern Germany’s climate is milder than that found further south along Europe’s Atlantic coastline because it lies farther away from large bodies of water like oceans or seas; however there are still some differences depending on where exactly one goes within this country’s borders–especially when talking about places near water bodies such as lakes/lagoons etcetera which tend to be more humid due their proximity.
