now well recognized: the medieval warm period (approximately

growth, the first wave of the little ice age... (Medieval Europe)
The temperature difference between summer and winter gradually
increases from coastal northwest Europe to southeast inland
Europe, ranging from Ireland, with a temperature difference of only
10 C from the warmest to the coldest month, to the area north of
the Caspian Sea, with a temperature difference of 40 C
(Wikipedia).
