Your Latitudinal Parallel Classification System(s)
Since there's been plentiful discussion about this particular matter throughout the forum, I have established this thread. Here's my take on this situation; first and foremost, let us begin with the most splendorous Angler's Latitudinal Parallel Classification (Southern Hemisphere) system:
I. Equatorial = 0.0°-9.5° S
II. Tropical = 10.0°-23.5° S
III. Subtropical = 24.0°-34.5° S
IV. Lower Mid-Latitudinal = 35.0°-39.5° S
V. Upper Mid-Latitudinal = 40.0°-44.5° S
VI. Subpolar = 45.0°-55.5° S
VII. Outer Polar = 56.0°-69.5° S
VIII. Inner Polar = >70.0°(-90.0°) S
Now, for the Anglers Latitudinal Parallel Classification (Northern Hemisphere) system:
I. Equatorial = 0.0-9.5° N
II. Tropical = 10.0°-23.5° N
III. Subtropical = 24.0°-36.5° N
IV. Lower Mid-Latitudinal = 37.0°-43.5° N
V. Upper Mid-Latitudinal = 44.0°-50.5° N
VI. Subpolar = 51.0°-61.5° N
VII. Outer Polar = 62.0°-75.5° N
VIII. Inner Polar = >76.0°(-90.0°) N
~ The Northern Hemisphere classification system averages 2° greater from the Subtropical and Mid-Latitudinal parallels and, thereafter, 4° to 6° greater owing chiefly to the myriads of anomalously warm climates skewing the average(s) for those parallels—namely, the entirety of Europe, Western Asia Minor, Northern Africa, and the Lower Pacific North American Coastline altogether. Contrarywise, for the Southern Hemisphere, only the leeward South Pacific regional is anomalously warm for its latitude—thereby, yielding a narrower latitudinal range for the Southern Hemisphere.

Equatorial 0-10°, Tropical 0-23.5°, Subtropical 23.5-40° Temperate 40-55°, Subpolar: 55-66.6°, Polar >66.6°

Equatorial/extremely low latitude: 0 - 11.25 degrees
Moderately tropical/very low latitude: 11.25 - 22.5 degrees
Tropical grading out into subtropical/moderately low latitude: 22.5 - 33.75 degrees
Subtropical grading out into continental/lower mid-latitudes: 33.75 - 45 degrees
Upper mid-latitudes, grading out into subpolar towards the end: 45 - 56.25 degrees
Moderate high latitude, subpolar grading out into polar: 56.25 - 67.5 degrees
Solidly polar/arctic/very high latitude: 67.5 - 78.75 degrees
High Arctic/extremely high latitude: 78.75 - 90 degrees

Equatorial: 0-7°, tropical non-equatorial: 7-23.5°, subtropical 23.5-35°, temperate 35-50°, subpolar 50-66.5°, polar 66.5-90°

Tropics: 22.3N-22.3S Subtropical/Temperate zones: 66.6N-22.3N and 22.3S-66.6S Polar Regions: 90N-66.6N and 66.6S-90S  |

Baba, Alex and Noodle all said it well, Anglers' assertion that London, Amsterdam and Berlin are subpolar is a bit laugable though.

Excuse me, kind sir, but haven't I just stated that it's an average? London, Amsterdam, and Berlin are all tremendously ridiculous anomalies for their latitudes. Also, about Noodle's system being more accurate than mine...how should I put this...ouch! |

Also, about Noodle's system being more accurate than mine...how should I put this...ouch! Yeah, except that's just bollocks. If you take the population weighed average, subpolar climates probably start around 58'N, and even if you merely look at the geographical average, only like 1-5% of the land area at 51'N is subpolar you doofus. The only parts of the world where you'll find dfc and cfc climates at 51'N is a small part of Eastern Canada and Bering's sea. I mean, I get if you wanna argue that Moosonee is subpolar despite technically being Dfb, but Nur-Sultan in Kazakhstan is hardly subpolar by any stretch of the imagination. |

And there's your problem.^ We shall always weigh by geography, not population; population-weighing is a futile Boteving tactic. As for your next statement about Dfc and Cfc climates...to put it bluntly, Köppen is an idiotic system. Subpolar climates are those that are cool year-round, not "4 months <10° C means", or whatever poppycock Köppen preached. Sweden is chiefly a subpolar country (apart from the southernmost reaches, such as your beloved Lund), therefore. |

Generally you need about 7° or less from the equator for something close to a year-round ITCZ-influenced climate, although there are exceptions (both equatorial climates outside the range and non-equatorial climates inside the range). Beyond that I don't feel like setting the midpoint of the temperate category at my latitude is accurate as 1/2 of Earth's surface area is within 30° from the equator and 1/2 of the Earth's land area is within ~33° from the equator. The higher latitudes above 50° on either side might not have subpolar vegetation but are subpolar in terms of latitude.
