== Climate ==
Graz has an [[oceanic climate]] (''Cfb''),<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weather-summary.php3?s=4211&cityname=Graz,+Styria,+Austria&units= |title=Graz, Austria Köppen Climate Classification (Weatherbase) |website=Weatherbase|access-date=13 November 2018}}</ref> but due to the 0&nbsp;°C isotherm, the same occurs in a borderline [[humid continental climate]] (''Dfb'') according to the [[Köppen climate classification]]. [[Wladimir Köppen]] himself was in town and conducted studies to see how the climate of the past influenced the [[Continental drift|Continental Drift theory]].<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=X4ymCQAAQBAJ&pg=PA293 |title=Modern Climatology |last=Saha |first=Pijushkanti |date=5 June 2012 |publisher=Allied Publishers |isbn=9788184247565 |language=en}}</ref> Due to its position southeast of the [[Alps]], Graz is shielded from the prevailing westerly winds that bring weather fronts in from the [[North Atlantic]] to northwestern and central Europe. The weather in Graz is thus influenced by the Mediterranean, and it has more hours of sunshine per year than Vienna or Salzburg and also less wind or rain. Graz lies in a basin that is only open to the south, causing the climate to be warmer than would be expected at that latitude.<ref>Graz-Universität Klimadaten</ref> Plants are found in Graz that normally grow much further south.
