TYPES OF CLIMATE
 FACTORS THAT
INFLUENCE WEATHER
AND CLIMATE
 LATITUDE
• Important factor influencing the
temperature of a region.
1. Tropical Climate are called Low
latitude ( nearer the equator)
- The average annual temperature at the
equator is 26.5°C .
- Day time and Night time are about equal.
- Hot throughout the year.
2.Middle latitude
• between the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic
Circle on the North and Tropic of Capricorn
and the Antarctic Circle on the south.
 3. HIGH Latitudes
• Areas with Polar Climate; Regions from the
Artic Circle and Antarctic Circles to the poles.
• Temperatures in these latitudes are never
warm.
• Average temperature of the warmest month is
below 10°C.
• The farther a place form equator the cooler it
is.
 2. ALTITUDE
• The land’s elevation or height above sea level.
• The higher we go the colder it becomes, the
air gets cooler as we travel upward.
 3. PREVAILING WINDS
• Wind is air in motion.
PREVAILING WINDS - Winds that blow in a
pattern.
• Trade winds – moving winds that are most
regular and whose direction is usually toward
the equator going to the west.
• Westerlies – blow from the west moving to the
east.
• Trade winds + Westerlies converge Tropical Zone
and form Intertropical Convergence Zone
 Special Winds:
Monsoons – an Arabic word that means seasonal.
1. HABAGAT – Southwest Monsoon
2. AMIHAN – Northeast Wind
 4. DISTRIBUTION OF LAND AND
BODIES OF WATER
• An important factor in determining the weather
and climate of a particular locality is its position
with respect to the land and water masses of
the Earth.
• The weather and climate over an island will tend
to be humid and have small temperature range
whereas those in continental interior will tend
to be dry and have great temperature
variations.
