| Abstract from DBPedia | In geography, the temperate climates of Earth occur in the middle latitudes (23.5° to 66.5° N/S of Equator), which span between the tropics and the polar regions of Earth. These zones generally have wider temperature ranges throughout the year and more distinct seasonal changes compared to tropical climates, where such variations are often small and usually only have precipitation changes. In temperate climates, not only do latitudinal positions influence temperature changes, but sea currents, prevailing wind direction, continentality (how large a landmass is), and altitude also shape temperate climates. The Köppen climate classification defines a climate as "temperate" C, when the mean temperature is above −3 °C (26.6 °F) but below 18 °C (64.4 °F) in the coldest month to account for the persistency of frost. However, other climate classifications set the minimum at 0 °C (32.0 °F).温帯（おんたい）とは、年間を通して温暖な気候の地域のことである。ケッペンの気候区分における気候帯のひとつで記号はC、低緯度から3番目に位置することを示す。そして季節の変化がはっきりとしている。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Temperate_climate) |
