As a blond, blue eyed and red bearded North German i can also sunburn in North Germany in summer in 15 minutes. 🤣

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!

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

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.

When you think summer daylight time is long in Lower Franconia, go and visit Schleswig-Holstein in the North! There you'll have daylight even longer.

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!!!

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

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.

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! 😊

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.

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 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.

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.

You are just glowing..love your Energy...!!!

You are an excellent model. Have been to Germany in the summer, very very nice. The hotels I stayed in did have air conditioning.

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.

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.

Here in northern Germany, it doesn't even get really dark at night at the end of June.

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.

miss u sharing grocery hauls and things u buy from German stores miss seeing diff brands

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.

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.

What heatwave ? Here in Hamburg Juli was cold and rainy, besides one nice Weekend

Very nice Video! :)

Are sandals a norm in summer for outings ?

How about ice cream culture? Do you have gelaterias in New Zealand?

What is your cooling system?

Germany in general isn´t that hot, right, but there are lots of historical dates when temperatures soared beyond what we had over the last few years.

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.

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 😁😁

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?

Mehr sinnlose Werbung als alles andere. Wenn es nur noch um Geld geht.

Nigeria not as humid :) come on, your body gets used to the humidity over there. It's almost 100% in tropical countries like Nigeria and Germany not even comes close to that.

That has nothing to do with global warming but weather manipulation.

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. 🤡
