GEOGRAPHY IN TÜBINGEN AND SOUTH AFRICA

There is a notion about weather in the upper atmosphere of the world that change different than the South polar. This is one of the things I have read about through my studies. However, this year I have seen it with my own eyes that the weather in the North has a different heating system as the South. In South Africa, there is a great moist of weather or high heat that can secrete people's sweats. South Africa is hot especially in the summer that the heat can reach up to 40° Celsius. Through the elements of cold region in South Africa, the highest measurement of cold is almost 10° Celsius. South Africa is a medium sized country that is measured to be a total land area of slightly more than 1.2 million square kilometres, making it roughly the same size as Nigeria, Angola, Mali and Colombia. Although the country is classified as semi-arid, South Africa has considerable variation in climate as well as topography. For example, in the province called Gauteng at a city called Johannesburg, the weather changes several times that it can rain in the morning and get cold in the night.

The weather in Germany varies from West to East Germany. For instance, the winter temperatures vary with around freezing temperatures in the west and well below freezing temperatures in the east of Germany.

During summer time it doesn't get very hot but average degrees Celsius of temperature. Summer temperatures are typically between 20° C and 30° C, with more rainfall during the summer months. During winter it gets colder that the weather temperature can reach -8° C accompanied by snow. However, it can always get colder in the South of Germany to 16° C. To conclude, the weather changes range from each other because of the difference in the locations. This shows a huge difference between German weather and South African weather.
