Hello, I was just wondering how summer weather conditions in the European “Breadbasket” differ if at all when compared to the Midwest and Great Plains regions of America aka the corn belt and wheat belts of America, please discuss all the similarities and differences between the two continents in terms of climate and weather patterns. All information and insightful opinions are welcome on this thread, so feel free to share all that you know.
The breadbasket of Europe and the United States is the land with fertile soils which is heavily used for agriculture aka growing crops such as corn or wheat or barley. I know that parts of Europe such as perhaps the Ukraine and other Eastern Europe countries that grow such crops.
Summers in the American breadbasket are hotter and much more humid then those in Eastern Europe. Partly because we sit at a lower altitude. Actually it's not even close. Only once you get east of the Caspian Sea (but that's not Europe) do temperatures begin to become similar though I highly doubt dew points are nearly as high there as they are in the Midwest during the summer.

Ukraine is warm but definitely drier and cooler. also because it is more at the latitude of southern Canada. Over here in North Italy our summers are quite similar to areas in the midwest and the upper south, although we generally see less rain in the summer. Humidity can be pretty high near the po river. Serbia and Romania are pretty similar as well.

The Caspian coast of Iran is very humid and Sochi is pretty humid as well.
