Continental Climate
The climate at the center of a continent, with hot summers and cold winters
Real World Example
Imagine trying to maintain a comfortable temperature in a room that has no insulation and large windows on both the sunny and shaded sides. Just like how this room would heat up quickly during the day and cool down rapidly at night due to its exposure, a continental climate experiences extreme temperature variations because it's far from the moderating influence of oceans or large bodies of water. In this analogy, the lack of insulation and the large windows represent the vast landmass in the center of a continent that allows for quick heating in summer and rapid cooling in winter, leading to hot summers and cold winters, much like how the room's temperature fluctuates easily without external moderation.
