A continental climate with a warm-and-dry summer and a wet winter is associated with higher altitudes and elevations than the hotter ‘Dsa’ climate.
It is labelled ‘Dsb’ by the Köppen–Geiger scheme for the classification of climates, which requires:
- all months of the year to have an average temperature less than 22 °C
- at least four months of the year to have an average temperature of 10 °C or above
- the coldest month of the year to have an average temperature below -3 °C
- annual precipitation to exceed the annual potential evapotranspiration
- the wettest month of winter to have at least 3 times more precipitation than the driest month of summer, which must receive less than 30 mm.
