The changes in these regions between summer and winter are generally relatively moderate, rather than extreme hot or cold. However, in certain areas, such as Asia and central North America , the variations between summer and winter can be extreme because these areas are far away from the sea, causing them to have a continental climate . In regions traditionally considered tropical, localities at high altitude s e.g. parts of the Andes may have a temperate climate . The north temperate zone extends from the Tropic of Cancer at about 23.5 degrees north latitude to the Arctic Circle at approximately 66.5 degrees north latitude . The south temperate zone extends from the Tropic of Capricorn at approximately 23.5 degrees south latitude to the Antarctic Circle at approximately 66.5 degrees south latitude . Within these borders there are many climate types, which are generally grouped into six categories oceanic climate oceanic maritime , Mediterranean Climate mediterranean , Humid Subtropical humid subtropical , continental climate continental , Desert climate arid and Semi arid climate semi arid . The maritime climate is affected by the ocean s, which help to sustain somewhat stable temperatures throughout the year. In temperate zones the prevailing winds are from the west, thus the western edge of temperate continents most commonly experience this maritime climate. Such regions include Western Europe , and western North America at latitudes between 40 and 60 north 65 N in Europe . Continental, semi arid and arid climates are usually situated inland, with warmer summers and colder winters ... more details
In virology , temperate refers to the ability of some bacteriophages notable Lambda phage coliphage to display a lysogenic life cycle . Many but not all temperate phages can integrate their genome s into their host bacteria bacterium s chromosome, together becoming a lysogen as the phage genome becomes a prophage . A temperate phage is also able to undergo a productive, typically lytic life cycle, where the prophage is expressed, replicates the phage genome, and produces phage progeny, which then leave the bacteria bacterium . With phage the term virulence virulent is often used as an antonym to temperate, but more strictly a virulent phage is one that has lost its ability to display lysogeny through mutation rather than a phage lineage with no genetic potential to ever display lysogeny which more properly would be described as an obligately lytic phage ref Barksdale, L., and S.
