Warm Climate

A warm climate is generally defined as a climate in which the temperature is usually hot or mild. There are usually no sharp changes in temperature throughout the year.
Most warm climates are found in the tropics, close to the equator.
Examples of warm climates are tropical rainforest, tropical desert and subtropical climate.

Cool Climate

A cool climate is generally defined as a climate in which the temperature is usually cool or cold. There are usually no sharp changes in temperature throughout the year.
This type of climate is typically found in higher latitudes, away from the equator.
Examples of cool climates are tundra, alpine and polar.

Warm Climate in Summer

In a warm climate, summer is usually the hottest season of the year. Temperatures can reach as high as 35°C (95°F) or even higher. However, this is not the case in all warm climates. For example, in tropical rainforest the temperatures can be quite high, but they do not usually reach 35°C (95°F). This is because of high levels of humidity, which makes it feel warmer than it actually is.
In a warm climate, there is usually little or no rain in summer. This is because the low pressure system that brings the rain is usually located in another part of the world.

Cool Climate in Summer

In a cool climate, summer is usually the least hot season of the year. Temperatures can reach as high as 27°C (80°F) or even higher.
In a cool climate, there can be occasional rain in summer. This is because the low pressure system that brings the rain is usually located in the same part of the world as the cool climate.

Warm Climate in Winter

In a warm climate, winter is usually the coldest season of the year. Temperatures can reach as low as -5°C (23°F) or even lower.
In a warm climate, there is usually little or no rain in winter. This is because the low pressure system that brings the rain is usually located in another part of the world.

Cool Climate in Winter

In a cool climate, winter is usually the least cold season of the year. Temperatures can reach as low as -15°C (5°F) or even lower.
In a cool climate, there can be occasional rain in winter. This is because the low pressure system that brings the rain is usually located in the same part of the world as the cool climate.

Warm Climate in Spring

In a warm climate, spring is usually a season of change. The temperature starts to become warmer and

the weather becomes less rainy.

Warm Climate in Fall

In a warm climate, fall is usually a season of change. The temperature starts to become cooler and the weather becomes more rainy.
In a warm climate, fall is usually a season of change. The temperature starts to become cooler and the weather becomes more rainy.

Cool Climate in Fall
