SUMMARY

The world’s climatic zones have been divided into three broad climate groups based on the Köppen classification and seasonal dominance of air masses.

Low-latitude climate, mid-latitude climate, and high-latitude climate are the three types.

Low-latitude Climatic Regions

1. Tropical wet region
2. Tropical wet and dry region
3. Dry desert (BWh) and steppe (BSh) region

Mid-latitude Climatic Region

1. Mid-latitude desert (BWK) and Steppe (BSk)
2. Mid-latitude wet region
3. Mid-latitude winter dry (Cw and Dw)
4. Mid-latitude summer dry (Cs)

High-latitude Climate

Polar Tundra (ET)

Polar Ice Cap (EF)

Highlands Climate
