The ethno genesis of the Germanic tribes is supposed to have happened during the Nordic Bronze Age, or at the newest, during the Pre-Roman Iron Age.  Modern Germany, as far as the Rhine and the Danube, thus remained outer the Roman Empire. By AD 100, the time of Tacitus' Germania, Germanic tribes established along the Rhine and the Danube, occupying most of the area of modern Germany. The Germanic peoples broke through the Limes and the Danube frontier into Roman-controlled lands. Most of Germany has a moderate serial climate in which moist westerly winds prevail. The climate is moderated by the North Atlantic Drift, which is the northern addition of the Gulf Stream. This warmer water affects the areas adjoining the North Sea together with the peninsula of Jutland and the area all along the Rhine, which flows into the North Sea. As a result in the north-west and the north, the weather is oceanic; rainfall occurs year round with a most during summer. Winters there are soft and summers lean to be cool.
