Temperate climates are commonly found in regions located between the 30° and 60° latitudes, both north and south of the equator.

Temperate climates occur in areas situated between 30° and 60° latitude, in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. These regions experience moderate temperatures, with distinct seasons, including cold winters and warm summers. The climate is characterized by regular rainfall and sometimes snow, supporting a wide variety of plant and animal life. Examples of temperate climate zones include much of Europe, parts of the U.S. (like New York), and parts of South America, such as southern Chile and Argentina. This climate zone is ideal for agriculture and human habitation.
