According to sources I have read, the country known as Switzerland can be found in the middle latitudes.
Switzerland
Temperate latitudes. These are regions on Earth located between the tropics and the polar regions, characterized by moderate temperatures and distinct seasons.
tropics! so it has several different kinds of climates.
Panama at about 9N is in the "tropics", which is the area between the Tropic of Cancer at 23 26N and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23 26S.
Switzerland
Occur in the middle latitudes, which span between the tropics and the polar regions of Earth. Refer to the climate zone between 35 and 50 north and south latitudes.
Since latitudes run from zero to 90 degrees, and downtown Chicago's latitude is roughly 42 degrees north, you'd have to call that "middle" latitude.
"High" latitudes. The equator has a latitude of zero. The area between the Tropic of Cancer (at 23.5 degrees north) and the Tropic of Capricorn (at 23.5 degrees south) are the "tropics" or low latitudes. The "polar regions" are above the Arctic Circle or below the Antarctic Circle, where the latitudes are higher than 66.5 degrees (north or south) are "high". The areas between the tropics and the arctic/antarctic are called "mid-latitudes or "temperate zones".

Storms in the tropics, such as hurricanes, are typically characterized by warm ocean waters and a lack of temperature contrasts, leading to less variability in weather patterns. In contrast, storms in the middle latitudes, like mid-latitude cyclones, are influenced by stronger temperature gradients between air masses, resulting in more dynamic and variable weather systems. Additionally, tropical storms tend to be more organized and long-lived, while middle-latitude storms can develop rapidly and dissipate quickly.
Weather systems are moved by the large scale wind currents of the Earth. These generall move west in the tropics, east in the middle latitudes, and west near the poles.
Most temperate climates are located in the middle latitudes. The middle latitudes has four temperate climates such as humid continental, marine west coast, Mediterranean, and humid subtropical.
