Then, call the macro select three times once for each of the city data sets .... scollege, pmatilda, and bellefnt .... selecting five observations from each.
A humid continental climate is marked by variable weather patterns and a large seasonal temperature variance. Places with more than three months of average daily temperatures above 10 Â°C (50 Â°F) and a coldest month temperature below â3 Â°C (27 Â°F) and which do not meet the criteria for an arid or semiarid climate, are classified as continental.
Temperate climates are those without extremes of temperature and precipitation (rain and snow). The changes between summer and winter are generally invigorating without being frustratingly extreme. There are two types of temperate climate: maritime and continental. The maritime climate is strongly influenced by the oceans, which maintain fairly steady temperatures across the seasons. Since the prevailing winds are westerly in the temperate zones, the western edge of continents in these areas experience most commonly the maritime climate. Such regions include Western Europe, in particular the UK, and western North America at latitudes between 40 and 60Â° north.
