Which term does not describe the climate of the Baltic states?

How is the climate in the Baltic States?

They are located rather north, so it is rather cold - it's definitely not tropical

But, they are also not located very north, as in they are not lying on the Polar Circle - so their climate is not polar either (another option that could answer your question)

The climate of the Baltic states is temperate humid continental: it's characterized by 4 seasons and cold winters.
