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 predominant mood of these autumnal celebrations is a gladness for the fruits of the earth mixed with a certain melancholy linked to the imminent arrival of harsh weather. This view is presented in English poet John Keats ' poem To Autumn , where he describes the season as a time of bounteous fecundity, a time of "mellow fruitfulness".
On Earth, seasons are the result of the axial parallelism of Earth's tilted orbit around the Sun. [2] [3] [4] In temperate and polar regions, the seasons are marked by changes in the intensity of sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface, variations of which may cause animals to undergo hibernation or to migrate, and plants to be dormant ...
Spring, also known as springtime, is one of the four temperate seasons, succeeding winter and preceding summer.There are various technical definitions of spring, but local usage of the term varies according to local climate, cultures and customs.
Temperate conditions refer to the cycle through four distinct seasons that occurs in areas between the polar regions and tropics. In these regions where temperate deciduous forest are found, warm and cold air circulation accounts for the biome's characteristic seasonal variation. [8]
[4] [5] Regions where the continental climates (Dfa, Dfb, Dfc, Dfd) are found. Dfa = Hot-summer humid continental climate; coldest month averaging below 0 °C (32 °F) (or −3 °C (27 °F)), at least one month's average temperature above 22 °C (71.6 °F), and at least four months averaging above 10 °C (50 °F). No significant precipitation ...
Temperatures are hottest within the Sahara regions of Algeria and Mali, [4] and coolest across the south and at elevation within the topography across the eastern and northwest sections of the continent. The hottest average temperature on Earth is at Dallol, Ethiopia, which averages a temperature of 33.9 °C (93.0 °F) throughout the year. [5]
Articles relating to seasons, divisions of the year based on changes in weather, ecology, and the number of daylight hours in a given region. On Earth , seasons are the result of Earth's orbit around the Sun and Earth's axial tilt relative to the ecliptic plane.
