The middle latitudes are between 23°26'22"
North and 66°33'39" North, and between 23°26'22" South and
66°33'39" South latitude,
or, the earth's temperate zones between the tropics and the Arctic and Antarctic. 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 (between 40 and 50 degrees latitude in both
hemispheres).
