Do temps get colder or warmer near the equator?
temperatures get warmer as you get near the equator due to the closer the equator is to the sun than the poles. Usually as you get to the equator the weather becomes more tropical and humid but it is still warm.
The most variable weather on is found at which latitudes?
The mid-latitudes, between 30 and 60 degrees, where intrusions of both Arctic and Tropical air masses can set up boundaries conducive to strong cyclone formation.
Does weather in the middle latitudes move from east to west?
Weather patterns usually move from west to east. Winds from the west, known as the prevailing westerlies, dominate at mid-latitudes, so a wind blowing all the way from Ireland to the U.S. East Coast is highly unlikely. That said, the global wind pattern is from the east at tropical latitudes from the equator to about 30 degrees north and south of the equator. Therefore, winds do blow to the west and can sometimes carry dust from Africa's Sahara Desert across the Atlantic to the Caribbean or even to the southeastern USA.
What is the weather like in the northern latitudes?
In the northern part or, High latitudes the weather is cold & dry. Hopes this helps.
What is tropical weather?
hot weather

What is the definition of middle latitudes?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe mid-latitudes (sometimes midlatitudes) are the areas on earth between the tropics and the polar regions, approximately 30° to 60° north or south of the equator. The mid-latitudes are an important region in meteorology, having weather patterns which are generally distinct from weather in the tropics and the polar regions. Weather fronts and extratropical cyclones are usually found in this area, as well as occasional tropical cyclones which have traveled from their areas of formation closer to the equator.
What climates are found near the equator?
Tropical Weather
The global westerly wind zone most heavily impacts what latitudes?
The global westerly wind zone most heavily impacts the middle latitudes. Weather fronts and tropical cyclones are usually found in this area, which have traveled from their areas of formation closer to the equator.
What characterizes climate in middle latitudes?
low rates of evaporation(novanet/Gradpoint)
What does the equator have to do with rainforests climate?
Most rainforests lie close to the equator. those areas have the warmth and humidity necessary for rainforests (that has to do with tropical weather the equator is just a line on maps)

Is island weather usually hot and tropical?
No; hot and tropical is a function of the latitude and proximity to a large body of water (generally the ocean). There are islands in the temperate and sub-arctic latitudes (think of Iceland and Greenland) that have weather patterns similar to northern Europe and North America.

What is is the weather like in Bali?
Last time i was there it was in December, the temperature wasn't to high but humidity levels were. so it was hot and stick but perfect weather for a swim. :)
