1. 🔴 Equatorial Zone

Location: Near the equator (0° latitude, typically between ~5°N and ~5°S)
Climate Type: Tropical rainforest

  • Temperature: Hot and stable year-round (average 77–91°F / 25–33°C)

  • Rainfall: Very high and evenly distributed year-round (often >2000 mm/year)

  • Seasons: No real seasons—always warm and wet

  • Humidity: Extremely high

  • Examples: Amazon Basin (Brazil), Congo Basin (Africa), Indonesia, Singapore

2. 🟠 Subequatorial Zone

Location: Just north and south of the equatorial zone (~5–10° to 15° latitude)
Climate Type: Tropical monsoon or tropical savanna

  • Temperature: Warm to hot year-round

  • Rainfall: Seasonal—distinct wet and dry seasons

  • Seasons:

    • Wet season: Usually in the high-sun (summer) months

    • Dry season: Usually in the low-sun (winter) months

  • Humidity: Varies—humid in wet season, drier otherwise

  • Examples: Parts of India, northern Australia, parts of Central Africa

3. 🟡 Tropical Zone

Location: Between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn (~23.5°N to 23.5°S)
Climate Type: Encompasses equatorial, subequatorial, savanna, and tropical monsoon

  • Temperature: Always warm or hot

  • Rainfall: Varies—can be extremely wet (rainforest) or seasonally dry (savanna)

  • Seasons: Often just wet and dry seasons, not four seasons

  • Examples: Brazil, India, Southeast Asia, parts of Central America

4. 🌵 Subtropical Zone

Location: Just outside the tropics (~23.5° to 35° latitude)
Climate Type: Subtropical humid, Mediterranean, desert

  • Temperature: Hot summers, mild to cool winters

  • Rainfall: Highly variable—can be dry (deserts) or moderately wet (Mediterranean)

  • Seasons: Often have hot summers and mild winters, some with dry summers

  • Examples: Southern U.S., Mediterranean basin, parts of China, northern Australia

5. 🟢 Temperate Zone

Location: Between 23.5° and 66.5° latitude in both hemispheres
Climate Type: Varied—includes oceanic, Mediterranean, continental, etc.

  • Temperature:

    • Moderate, with four distinct seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter)

    • Can be hot in summer and cold (even snowy) in winter

  • Rainfall: Moderate to high; may occur year-round or seasonally depending on sub-type.

  • Examples: Much of the United States, Europe, China, southern South America.

6. ❄️ Subpolar (Subarctic) Zone

Location: Between 50° and 66.5° latitude, just below the polar regions
Climate Type: Subarctic (taiga or boreal forest)

  • Temperature:

    • Short, mild summers (50–70°F / 10–21°C)

    • Long, bitterly cold winters

  • Rainfall: Low to moderate, often snow-heavy in winter (300–500 mm/year or more)

  • Seasons: Two main ones:

    • Long, harsh winters

    • Short summers

  • Examples: Much of Alaska, northern Canada, most of Siberia, parts of northern Scandinavia

7. 🔵 Polar Zone

Location: Above 66.5° latitude (Arctic and Antarctic Circles)
Climate Type: Polar tundra or ice cap

  • Temperature:

    • Very cold year-round

    • Summer temperatures rarely exceed 50°F (10°C)

    • Winter temperatures can plunge below -40°F (-40°C)

  • Rainfall: Very low — dry, often <250 mm/year (technically a cold desert)

  • Seasons:

    • Long, dark, frigid winters

    • Short, cool summers with nearly 24-hour daylight

  • Humidity: Low

  • Examples: Antarctica, Greenland interior, northernmost Canada, Siberia, Arctic Ocean islands
