Geography
Luxembourg (country), officially Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, country
in western Europe, bounded by Belgium on the north and west, Germany
on the east, and France on the south.
With Belgium and the Netherlands, Luxembourg forms the Low, or Benelux,
Countries. The country has an area of 2586 sq km (998 sq mi).
Climate
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg enjoys a temperate climate without
extremes. It profits from the beneficial and moderating influence
of the sea, but the sea winds (SW or NW) shed a great part of their
moisture before reaching the Luxembourg frontiers. The period from
May to mid October is particularly suitabale for vacations.
While July and August are the warmest, May and June are the sunniest
months. September and October often offer an "Indian Summer". During
the season summer clothes may be worn, with good shoes for the many
hikes and, as precaution, a raincoat, sweater or other woollens.
