Climate
Much of Northern Asia is part of the climate zone humid continental. 4 Climate types include humid, severe and dry winters, and hot summers. 4 In Northern Asia the main climate tends to include snow, arid, polar, and warm temperatures. 5 Precipitation in Northern Asia falls into the categories of fully humid, desert, and a dry winter. 5 Temperature in Northern Asia varies greatly but which part of the region you are in. 5 The climate is a result of the many climate controls. The climate controls are the several mountain ranges, deserts, tundra, and of course the bordering oceans. More climate controls are the elevation and the latitude.
