TYPICAL WEATHER IN MIDLATITUDES

The middle latitudes are a spatial region on Earth located between the
latitudes 23° and 66° north, and 23° and 66° south.
They include Earth's subtropical and temperate zones, which lie
between the tropics and the polar circles (between the Tropic of Cancer
and the Arctic Circle, and between the Tropic of Capricorn and the
Antarctic Circle).
Weather fronts and extratropical cyclones are usually found in this area,
as well as occasional tropical cyclones, which have traveled from their
areas of formation closer to the Equator.
The prevailing winds in the middle latitudes are often very strong. These
parts of the world also see a wide variety of fast-changing weather as
cold air masses from the poles and warm air masses from the tropics
push up and down over them, sometimes alternating within hours of
each other, especially in the roaring forties (latitudes between 40° and
50° in both hemispheres).
It is due to climate the desert is formed
