Geography
Climate
The island's climate is characterized by high air humidity (80 - 90%), low seasonal temperature differences (the warmest month is July with an average temperature of 17 ° C, the coldest January with an average temperature of 0 ° C), and a lot of sunshine (the number of sunny hours is over 300 per month during the May to August) and relatively little rainfall (average annual rainfall 550 mm). Strong winds, mainly from the west, blow over the island, and storms often occur from autumn to spring. The climatic properties are used in energy: the island has more than 60 energy wind turbines and numerous solar collectors for heating water. In summer, the temperature of the surrounding waters reaches 22 ° C.
