WORLD CLIMATES

The Köppen Climate Classification System The mean monthly and annual values of temperature and precipitation to classify climates.

The Köppen system has five major groups Humid Tropical Climates Dry Climates Humid-Mid Latitude Climates Polar Climates Highland Climates

1) Humid Tropical Climates Humid tropical climates are without winters. Every month has a mean temperature above 18˚C. The amount of precipitation can exceed 200 cm/year

1) Humid Tropical Climates Tropical-Wet Tropical Wet and Dry Savanna

2) Dry Climates A Dry Climate is one in which the yearly precipitation is not as great as the potential loss of water by evaporation

3) Humid Mid-Latitude Include areas with both mild and severe winters You live in a humid mid-latitude climate!!! 5 Major Categories Humid subtropical Marine west coast Dry-summer subtropical Humid Continental Subarctic -These experience the highest temperature ranges in the world!!

4) Polar Climates Polar Climates are those in which the mean temperature is always below 10oC Barrow, Alaska

These regions also receive more rain then surrounding areas 5) Highland Climates Highland Climates (Mountain regions) have their own localized climates. Temperature decreases with elevation These regions also receive more rain then surrounding areas
