Continental climate. Areas of the world that feature a continental climate, according to Köppen. Continental climates often have a significant annual variation in temperature (warm to hot summers and cold winters). They tend to occur in central and eastern parts of the three northern-tier continents ( North America, Europe, and Asia ...
Subtropics. The subtropical zones or subtropics are geographical and climate zones to the north and south of the tropics. Geographically part of the temperate zones of both hemispheres, they cover the middle latitudes from 23°26′09.9″ (or 23.43609°) to approximately 35° north and south. The horse latitudes lie within this range.
Mediterranean climate. A Mediterranean climate ( / ˌmɛdɪtəˈreɪniən / MED-ih-tə-RAY-nee-ən ), also called a dry summer climate, described by Köppen as Cs, is a temperate climate type that occurs in the lower mid-latitudes (normally 30 to 44 north and south latitude). Such climates typically have dry summers and wet winters, with summer ...
The Köppen climate classification defines a climate as "temperate" C, when the mean temperature is above −3 °C (26.6 °F) but below 18 °C (64.4 °F) in the coldest month to account for the persistence of frost. However, some adaptations of Köppen set the minimum at 0 °C (32.0 °F). Continental climates are classified as D and considered ...

The March equinox is known as the vernal equinox (spring equinox) in the Northern Hemisphere and as the autumnal ...
