When it comes to daylight in summer, theres even a huge difference where you are in Germany. I live close to the danish border and daylight here lasts from 4:30 am to 11:00pm.on the other side, its longer dark outside in the winter. it depends on the latitude - the higher they are, the more extreme is the change between day and night time. thats why in some parts of norway, it never gets dark in the summer and theres always night in the winter. longest day in the year is the 21st of june, longest night is the 21st of december
Theoretically all Germans know about summer days getting longer the more to the north you go - but we think about Scandinavia and midnight sun and forget that even from Munich to Flensburg there's a remarkable difference in the day length.
@@hypatian9093 I looked it up, difference between Flensburg and Munich should be around one hour. Down here in southern Austria the difference between summer and winter is of course still noticable but not even remotely as brutal as in Scandinavia. In the southern mediterrenean you'd probably barely notice it any more.
I remember witnessing some light at midnight in Flensburg the 21st of june... I'm Italian and I was in awe. On the other hand, when the sun started going down at 15:30 in the winter... 😑😅
@@Alias_AnybodyI once went on holiday to Kenya and was stunned at how short the twilight period was. It was almost like a light switch, so fast was the change from day to night.
I lived in Germany from 1933 to 1957 and it was never as hot in summer as it is the last few years. The further North you live the longer it stays light during the summer months and a Hello from America.
I am a Kiwi, like Antoinette. It is wonderful reading a comment written by an elder in America. I am amazed seeing where you lived...and so many years ago. What an interesting life you have had! You must have a wealth of wisdom that I wish I could find. I am searching for understanding and find some things very hard. I hope you are enjoying good health and have been blessed in every way in America.
It always got so hot in summer, can remember cracks in the ground when I was cycling to the pool. It's more the inconsistency that bothers you in Germany. One summer hot, the next summer cool and rainy. Couldn't it just be summer and just winter? It is like it is.
Daylight is affected by the latitude of the respectiv place. I don't recall from where you are in NZ. So, I took Wellington as an example. If you would flip the southern hemisphere to the northern hemispere as an overlay, Wellington would be a little south of Rome, Italy. Being a lot closer to the equator affects the length of daylight to have shorter daylight periods in summer while they are longer in winter. In the shortest day in winter you have about 10 hours of daylight in Wellington and a little more than 9 hours in Rome. Würzburg this is about 8 hours. The longest days are 16 hours and 20 minutes in Würzburg and in the area of 15 hours for Rome and Wellington.
That‘s so interesting - I always assumed New Zealand was at a similar (opposite) latitude to Germany since they both have a temperate climate. But now I checked on a map and New Zealand is much closer to the equator than Germany, which explains why you don‘t get these extreme long days in summer there
Hi Antoinette! I just checked because I couldn't believe it, but Germany is actually farther north (between 47 and 55° N) than New Zealand is south (between 34 and 47°S). That must be the reason why days are longer here in summer, since the farther away you are from the equator, the larger the difference in day length between summer and winter. Especially if you compare the north of Germany to the north of New Zealand. Greetings from Berlin!
Yes exactly. You can even see the difference within Germany comparing the North and South of Germany. At the longest day of summer in Germany - 21.6. - the sun rises and sets almost an hour earlier/ later while in winter it’s the other way around. 😄
I grew up in the UK which, like New Zealand, is, of course, an island and everywhere is close to the sea. Here in Southern Germany we are in the middle of a huge land mass and there is nothing to temper the weather. At least that's what I remember from my geography lessons at school.
Antoinette: due to the fact that the Earth‘s axis is tilted by some 23 degrees, the more you get towards the poles the longer the days in summer and the shorter the days in Winter. If you go really far north (north of what is called the polar circle), the sun will not set at all (as the pole region of the tilted Earth is constantly facing the sun). Even in Oslo or Helsinki it will not get fully dark in Summer, but at Northcape (Norway) the sun will not set at all in Summer (and will not rise at all in Winter). So the farther north (or south) you go, the more extreme the variations in day-length will get through the seasons! Around the equator days are always roughly 12 hours irrespective of the seasons (and dusk and dawn are really fast, as the sun rises or sets practically vertically). It‘s all astrophysics! 😊
The sun goes down so late in summer because of summertime. People use to forget that. As kids we were allowed to play outside until the sun went down and that was 9 or 9.30 PM. We have the change to summertime since about 30 years now and younger people just can‘t think about it different.
I looked up the latitude of New Zealand and Germany. In the most South parts of each country you should experience the same change of day and night length. But the further you go North, the shorter the possible difference between winter and summer gets in New Zealand and the longer it gets in Germany. It‘s because of the position of the sun in Summer vs. Winter.
It 's raining at the moment and it is a cold spring and summer this year !!! April cold; Mai cold; June 2 weeks warm, one week hot; July 1,5 week warm, some days hot (< 30 degrees). The rest of July is really cold. Panic is everywhere. This must be to be popular.
@@sarahmichael270244And if the Gulf Stream is really collapsing it probably gets even colder, especially in Winter. But that doesn’t change the development for the rest of the world.
Climat change does not mean that every single summer gets hotter than the last. In the moment, we have a normal summer, but it is NOT normal that in the last decades, most summers got temperature records.
@@nriamond8010 and it is not "normal", how dry it is. Yes, I remember hot summers, too. But I remember the mostly regular rain in the evenings and nights. As child, I had to watch the clouds and manage to leave the lake early enough to get home before the rain starts.
@@nriamond8010 If you compare temperature in 1960 measured in the countryside with temperature in the last fifteen years measured in the center of a city... and you then put the result in a computer that is predicting the future temperatures.... Nobel price award 2022 physics tells us science is lying about the climate change. Do your research.
if you think it's light in summer in the evenings then you should experience Oslo in summer or the midnightsun😁 For beginners an evening at coast of the North Sea is great, too. I'm a fan of the North. As a suggestion for a summer vacation in 2024: Make a trip to Bodø, Norway, near Lofoten. Bodø is culture capitol this year and in May it's. midnightsun😀 or in autumn there could be Northern Light.
Da haben wir a sechster gelandet, mit dem Wetter hier in norddeutschland!, wochenlang graues Himmel, Regen "menü komplett"!, aber das gute in dem ganzen, sind die angenehme Temperaturen.
We have very hot summers since 70 years I live, but not every year, this humity is quiet new, but this because of the geoengeneering we are since 10 years.
On average, you always have 12 hours of sun a day, but that's exactly true only on solstice days and at the Equator. The further you get to the poles, the darker it is in winter and the brighter in summer. At the poles, it's light for half the year and dark for the other half.
@@anikaschneider2611 Hamburg, Niedersachsen und Schleswig Holstein, kompletter Norden. NRW, Berlin war auch nicht besonders gut. Meine Güte. Dann soll sie nicht von Deutschland sprechen sondern vom Süden.
2:22 This is not true, most shops and public transport do have AC. Maybe not in the remote areas, but certainly in big cities. That's why I love to go shopping on hot days, because those shops are amazingly cool! Public trams and buses all have AC (otherwise the temperature inside would be lethal pretty quickly), but it might not be strong enough to cope with the immense heat, so they feel like a sauna. Thank goodness the subway is always cool. But yes, the humidity is bad - I always describe the feeling as "walking through hot soup"! Not comfortable.
it certainly depends on the size of the shop ... supermarket chains always have AC, smaller shops like a small bookshop or a bakery sometimes but also often not.
@@sarafinam6686 italy is generally good, I like sorbet too. NZ stand ice cream is usually good too. supermarket ice cream is mostly bad everywhere. german gelateria ice cream is hit and miss.
If you get sunburned in 15' in New Zealand I would have to take EXTRA care, should I go there... I get sunburned in 5' even in Europe... and I can't stand the logh days you seem to like so much, I like early evenings without the sun in my eyes, so one of us is always happy, let's see it on the nice side 😁😁
Im serious. I have asked twice and I haven’t gotten an answer. One was the thing where you open all windows, now wet towels but she has said something about airflow underneath. So can anyone tell me?
Du scheinst mir etwas verwirrt zu sein. Soll sie nun Geld verdienen oder nicht (und den Kanal nur als Hobby betreiben)? Falls ja, wieso beschwerst du dich dann über Werbung?

Ein richtiger Job setzt Geld verdienen voraus.
in summer it's longer bright outside because the rotation of the earth slows down during the day, because evolution wanted that we have enough time to eat ice cream and a lot melon. 🤡
I remember beeing in NZ 1986, and always hearing in the radio the actual "burn time" ( i remember about 11 minutes mostly) because of the ozone hole over Antarctica, wich i already knew about, but then was kind of shocked about the direct daily life consequences. As far as i know now, that matter has decreased there, but increased here. Best whishes to all Kiwis,- had a great time there!!!
Je näher man zu den Polen kommt, je größer werden die Tag-Nacht-Unterschiede zwischen Sommer und Winter. Der längste Sommertag in Garmisch dauert 15h58min, während der gleiche Tag (21.06.) in Flensburg schon 17h19min dauert. In Flensburg scheint die Sommersonne also 1H21min länger. Im Winter ist es umgekehrt: In Garmisch scheint die Sonne am 22.12. insgesamt 8h26min und damit 1h12min länger als in Flensburg (7h12min). ... Ursache ist die Neigung der Erdachse.
maybe its more like NZ people are descendants from Scottish/GB people which rarely seen sun so their skin is not used to it. Do Maori people have same skin problems?
It's extremly cold this summer. We had a few warm days in June but in July it's as cold as it normally is in autumn. Today it's just 17°C outside and inside the house it's 22 °C.
