Climate
Berlin has a "marine west coast" (Cfb) climate according to the
Köppen climate classification system. This type of climate features moderate
summer temperatures and mild winters. There are significant continental climate
influences due to its inland position, with frosts being common in winter and
there being larger temperature differences between seasons than typical for
many oceanic climates. Furthermore, Berlin is classified as a temperate
continental climate (Dc) under the Trewartha climate scheme. ,
Summers are warm and sometimes humid with average high temperatures of
22–25 °C (72–77 °F) and lows of 12–14 °C (54–57 °F).
Winters are cool with average high temperatures of 3 °C (37 °F) and
lows of −2 to 0 °C (28 to 32 °F). Spring and
autumn are generally chilly to mild. Berlin's built-up area creates a
micro climate, with heat stored by the city's buildings and pavement.
Temperatures can be 4 °C (7 °F) higher in the city than in the
surrounding areas.

here the Karl-Marx-Allee heads east, an avenue lined by monumental residential
buildings, designed in the Socialist Classicism style. Adjacent to this area is
the Rotes Rathaus (City Hall), with its distinctive red-brick architecture. In

I like this city bring about its history,determination and its people. Germans are very a
disciplined nation and I always want to be a disciplined person.I guess that's why I sympathise with Berlin but the city is very gorgeous city even without this
properties(without its people).I think you should go there if you want to go on a tour of Europe.
