==Climate== Colmar has an [[oceanic climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Cfb'') but it is significantly modified by the city's location far inland, with cold, dry winters and warm to hot, wetter summers. The city has a sunny [[microclimate]] and is one of the driest cities in France, with an annual precipitation of just {{convert|607|mm|abbr=on}}, making it ideal for [[Alsace wine]]. It is considered the capital of the Alsatian wine region. The dryness results from the town's location next to mountains, which forces clouds arriving from the west to rise and much of their moisture to condense and fall over the higher ground, leaving the air warmed and dried by the time it reaches Colmar. The city therefore has more of a continental climate and winter and summer temperatures can sometimes be the lowest or highest in France. {{Meteo France |Town=Colmar |Sunshine= 1,780.7 |Rain=606.6 |Snow=25.7 |Storm=24.8 |Fog=55.4<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lameteo.org/index.php/12-climatologie/1599-normales-climatiques-1981-2010-colmar|title=Normales climatiques 1981-2010 : Colmar|website=www.lameteo.org|access-date=15 June 2022}}</ref> }} <br> {{Colmar weatherbox}}
