      Where are the Temperate Climate Zones?

      It’s the middle of summer. In the Mediterranean, it’s hot and sunny. In Seattle, Washington, it’s mild and rainy. Welcome to temperate climates — the most varied climates in the world.

      MARITIME AND CONTINENTAL, COOL AND WARM

      The temperate climates are found between the tropics and the polar regions. There are two main types of temperate climates: maritime and continental. The maritime climate is influenced by ocean winds and currents. The places with a maritime climate are usually on the western edges of continents and are between 30° and 60° north and south of the Equator. Examples of areas with a maritime climate include western Europe and western North America. Inland areas between the tropics and the polar regions have a continental climate, as do areas between 30° and 60° north of the Equator, in central and eastern North America and Asia.

      Temperate continental climates can be divided into warm and cool continental climates. Maritime climates can also be divided into warm and cool maritime climates. A warm maritime, or Mediterranean, climate is found in parts of Spain, Italy, Greece, and Turkey. The southeastern tip of Australia, coastal Norway, and parts of Iceland have a cool maritime, or Marine West Coast, climate.

      In temperate climates, it is generally warm in summer and cool in winter. But it is unusual to experience the scorching temperatures of the tropics or the bitter cold of the polar regions.

      In the United States, there is a cool continental climate east of the Rockies and north into Canada, from around 40° north. South of around 40° north, there’s a
