Section 3 Page 37 Climate Zone 3C, Warm/Marine – Temperate climates found on the coast. These areas typically do not have extreme seasons. Temperatures remain relatively mild year-round due to the high heat capacity of water. Marine climates only experience two seasons, summer and winter. Summer months are dry, while winter can be very wet. To be considered a marine climate, 65% of annual total rainfall must occur in less than six months of the year. These climates are generally humid, but moisture and precipitation levels can vary greatly by location.
