    1. Mid-latitude Cfa, Dfa, Dfb Climates Calee Lord

    2. The Cfa, Dfa, and Dfb climates are classified as “Mid-Latitude Wet” Cfa-Humid Subtropical Dfa and Dfb-Humid Continental Dfa-Long summer Dfb-Short summer

    3. Mechanism Ferrel Cell Hadley Cell Subtropical High

    4. Ferrel and Hadley Cells

    5. Subtropical High

    6. Cfa Climate

    7. What makes a Cfa climate? According to the Köppen Climate Classification System: C- Warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. f- Moist with adequate precipitation in all months and no dry season. a- Hot summers where the warmest month is over 22°C (72°F).

    8. Example of Cfa: Charlotte, NC

    10. Dfa and Dfb Climate

    11. What makes Dfa and Dfb Climates? Major difference is the duration and heat of summer Dfa is a long and hot (or very warm) summer Dfb is a short and warm summer D-Total precipitation is not very high and seasonal temperatures vary widely f-Moist with adequate precipitation in all months and no dry season a-Hot summers where the warmest month is over 22°C (72°F) b-warm summer with the warmest month below 22°C (72°F)

    12. Example of Dfa: Chicago, IL

    13. Example of Dfb: Albany, NY

    15. Conclusions Most of the world’s population lives in these temperate climates Most land of the world is located in mid-latitudes—mid-latitudes are where the temperate climates occur Many people think of the temperate climate as the “just right” climate Not “too hot” like the tropics, and not “too cold” like the colder climates The temperate climates are just right for human comfort and for growing crops that feed large populations
