The highland temperate climates are a temperate climate sub-type, although located in tropical zone, isothermal and with characteristics different from others temperate climates like oceanic or mediterranean where they are often are included without proper differentiation.

The mainly difference is that it is isothermal, this mean that it has low termic range between months, whose cause is altitude and not latitude, no four seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter) of temperate zone. However, there are rainfall variation (dry season and wet season). It is usually said that it have a Eternal Spring or a Eternal Autumn. These are sometimes called "tropical highland climates" or "highland tropical climates", though the name is a misnomer other than regional location.

A letter "i" is added to indicate its isothermal condition (Cfb, oceanic climate, Cfbi, highland humid temperate climate).[1][failed verification][original research?]
