The Continental Climate - Secrets of World Climate #9

The great plains of the northern continents. Lands of hot summers, but cold winters. The bread baskets of the developed world, they are also home to many great cities and are the heartlands for the two largest countries on earth. In a band encircling the earth of the mid-latitudes, between the forbidding arctic cold to the north, and the deserts and humid plains to the south, these are the lands of the Continental Climates.

The ninth episode in a unique series exploring all the major climate zones of the world that focuses in full high-definition video on real places in each climate zone. In this geography documentary we show this part of the world in its full beauty, and uncover the secrets of why it is that way and show you the influential lands and cities that lie within.

The distinguishing feature of these climates is a wide range of temperature between a hot or warm summer and cold winter.

Found deep within the two northern continents of North America and Eurasia, these climates encompass most of the sourthern halves of Russia and Canada.

They make up a significant part of the United States, including the Mid West, Great Lakes and New England, and cover the states of North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Vermont, Conneticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine.

This is the climate of the Southern Scandinavia and Baltic Sea, including south-eastern Norway, southern Sweden, southern Finland and all of the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Most of Eastern Europe comes under these climates, with most of eastern Germany, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Ukraine being under its influence.

☀️⛈❄️

Lastly, the north of eastern Asia is dominated by the monsoon variant of the continental climate, with northern China, Korea and Eastern Russia experiencing hot and wet summers, then cold and dry winters. The northern half of Japan and the entire island of Hokkaido experience the year round precipitation of the continental climate with particularly snowy winters.

ERRATUM: Please note there are a number of times when I state "Cfb" - this is meant to read as "Dfb".
