“Please be aware that the
weather in Germany can be unpredictable and it is always a good idea to bring
those layers.” I don’t think a statement could more perfectly describe
what happens in Michigan on a day to day basis. I remember one softball practice
where I experienced rain, hail, snow, and sunshine within the two hours I was
there. We live in a state, where the weather is as unpredictable as which road
will be under construction next. Although Germany and Michigan do have similarities
in their weather, there are differences as well. In Germany the summer is known
as the precipitation months, where in Michigan we expect the wet months in
spring time…“April showers, brings May flowers”. This statement does not just
hold true for Michigan but to the whole United States. During the summer, all
over the country, we experience heat advisories, droughts, and sometimes even
forest fires due to the lack of rain. Germany is not as large as the United
States so they have less variation in the weather throughout their country. While
we could travel to Florida, Hawaii, or California in the winter catch some uv
rays, the Germans have to pack up and head to a different country for that same
luxury.
