温带（英语：Temperate climate、德语：Gemäßigte Zone、法语：Climat tempéré），在地理学上，是位于亚热带和极圈之间的气候带。北半球温带区的范围是从北纬23.5°的北回归线到北纬66.5°的北极圈之间。南半球温带区的范围是从南纬23.5°的南回归线到南纬66.5°的南极圈之间。温带气候即包括比较温和多雨的海洋气候，也包括四季分明和比较干燥的大陆性气候。温带的大多数地区位于西风带内。

The subarctic climate (also called subpolar climate or boreal climate) is a climate characterised by long, usually very cold winters, and short, cool to mild summers. It is found on large landmasses, away from the moderating effects of an ocean, generally at latitudes from 50° to 70°N poleward of the humid continental climates. These climates represent Köppen climate classification Dfc, Dwc, Dsc, Dfd, Dwd and Dsd. In very small areas at high altitudes around the Mediterranean Basin, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Alaska and other parts of the northwestern United States (Eastern Washington, Eastern Oregon and Idaho) the climate is classified as Dsc with a dry summer climate, such as in Seneca, Oregon.
