The biggest differences between Europe and North America in regards to climate are that the sea makes much more ingress into the European landmass than it does into the North American, which leads to more of a balance between the seasons in the Old World than the new and that most major mountain ranges run east to west in Europe, thus blocking cold air from penetrating very far south and warm air from penetrating very far north, while North American mountain ranges run largely north to south, allowing Arctic air to travel all the way to the Gulf unhindered and warm air all the way into the Canadian pariries, leading to very cold winters and very hot summmers in most states and provinces.
Generally speaking, North America is also sunnier than most of Europe, depending on location, of course. If you compare Seattle to Athens – as internet people tend to do…-you will find the opposite to be the case.
