A Köppen–Geiger climate map showing temperate climates for 1991–2020 The different geographical zones of the world. The temperate zones, in the sense of geographical regions defined by latitude, span from either north or south of the subtropics (north or south of the orange dotted lines, at 35 degrees north or south) to the polar circles.
The South Temperate Zone, between the Tropic of Capricorn at 23°26′09.8″ S and the Antarctic Circle at 66°33′50.2″ S, covers 25.99% of Earth's surface. The South Frigid Zone, from the Antarctic Circle at 66°33′50.2″ S and the South Pole at 90° S, covers 4.12% of Earth's surface. Earth's climatic zones
The Trewartha system sought to create a more refined middle latitude climate zone, which was one of the criticisms of the Köppen system (the climate group C was too general). [10]: 200–1 Köppen–Geiger climate map 1991–2020 [9]
The temperature in Labuan, which lies near the equator, hardly changes through the year. Instead of summers and winters, there is a dry season in the beginning of the year, followed by a wet season with high rainfall. Cusco also lies in the Tropical Zone, but at a much higher altitude in the Andean highlands, and also much drier.

A subarctic climate has little precipitation, [21] and monthly temperatures which are above 10 °C (50 °F) for one to three months of the year, with permafrost in large parts of the area due to the cold winters. Winters within subarctic climates usually include up to six months of temperatures averaging below 0 °C (32 °F). [22] Map of arctic ...

Many zone boundaries were changed as a result of the more recent data, as well as new mapping methods and additional information gathered. Many areas were a half-zone warmer than the previous 1990 map. [8] The 2012 map was created digitally for the internet, and includes a ZIP Code zone finder and an interactive map. [9] [10]
