Definition(s)

  • Continental climates have minimal influence from marine sources due to their location in continental interiors or upwind of coastal areas. In the humid mid-latitude regions of the Northern Hemisphere, continental climates are a buffer zone separating mild, subtropical climates from the severe sub-arctic climates.
