mesothermal climate
mesothermal climate A climatic type with moderate temperatures, known most commonly in Europe (e.g. in the Köppen classification) as a warm-temperate rainy climate having a coldest month with temperatures of −3°C to +18°C and a warmest month above +10°C. Such climates are found typically in latitudes 30–45°C. The Thornthwaite classification defines this type according to evapotranspiration and moisture budget.
