How many major types of climates do geographers identify?

Geographers identified five major types of climates. They are: tropical, warm middle latitude, cold middle latitude, dry and polar climates.
Climate refers to the weather condition that prevails in an area over a long period of time.

Humid continental climate is found in the interior of continents between the 30 and 60 degrees latitude, but usually above the 40 degree line.   40 degrees north of the equator means less direct sunlight and therefore less warmth.   this climate is mainly found in the northern hemisphere since there are no major landmasses in the southern hemisphere.  if you live in northern indiana, you know all about humid continental because that is the climate type you have!
