Mid-latitude cells, also known as Ferrel cells, are atmospheric circulation patterns found between the Hadley cells near the equator and the Polar cells near the poles. They typically occur between 30° and 60° latitude in both hemispheres. These cells are characterized by prevailing westerly winds that move from the subtropics toward the poles, influencing weather patterns and climate in these regions. In mid-latitude cells, warm air rises at around 60° latitude, creating low-pressure areas, while cooler air descends at about 30° latitude, forming high-pressure zones. This circulation helps drive the movement of storm systems and contributes to the variability of weather experienced in temperate regions.
