Dry. These climate zones are so dry because moisture is rapidly evaporated from the air and there is very little precipitation.

Temperate. In this zone, there are typically warm and humid summers with thunderstorms and mild winters.

Continental. These regions have warm to cool summers and very cold winters. In the winter, this zone can experience snowstorms, strong winds, and very cold temperatures—sometimes falling below -22°F (-30°C)!
