Climate Patterns:

Polar: Every month in a polar climate has an average temperature of ( less than 10, more than 50, less than -10, greater than 31 ) °C.

Sub-arctic: In winter, temperatures can drop to ( 50, 40, −40, -60 ) °C and in summer, the temperature may exceed ( -10 but < 40, >20 but <10, 40, 30 ) °C.

Continental: Continental climates often have a significant annual variation in temperature (hot summers and cold winters). Continental climates have a coldest month ( below, above, not even close to, greater than ) -3 °C depending on and four months ( <, > )10 °C.

Mountain: A climate which causes trees to fail to grow due to ( cold, rolled oats, jolts, mould ) and where no month has a mean temperature higher than 10 °C.

Temperate: In geography, temperate or ( insipid, tepid, rapid, telid ) latitudes of Earth lie between the tropics and the polar regions. The temperatures in these regions are generally relatively moderate, rather than extremely hot or cold, and the changes between summer and winter are also usually ( high, considerate, moderate, crate ).

Steppe: A steppe is a dry, grassy ( plain, pain, plane, kain ). Steppes occur in temperate climates, which lie between the tropics and polar regions. They receive 25 to 50 centimetres of rain each year.

Equatorial: Regions with this climate experience high temperatures all year round. The average monthly temperatures are about ( 20 - 24, 26 – 28, 30 - 43, 10 - 5 ) degrees Celsius. The annual temperature range is very small. Humidity is usually very high.

Savanna: The Savanna biome has a wet/dry climate.The savanna climate has a temperature range of 20° - 30° C. In a Savanna the temperature ( does not, do, does, do not ) change a lot. When it does, it's very gradual and not drastic.

Desert: Is a climate that does not meet the criteria to be classified as a polar climate, and in which precipitation is too low to sustain most vegetation. Desert climates experience from 25 to 200 mm per year of ( precipitation, persimmons, percipitation, pertipitation ). There are usually two or three variations of a desert climate: a hot desert climate, a cold desert climate and, sometimes, a mild desert climate.
