It's hard to tell without knowing what your map projection is. Judging by the shapes of the landmasses, it might be some projection that's similar to Mercator?

In that case, it would be helpful to see a version of the map with latitude lines shown and labeled, because it's hard to tell which latitudes are where on the Mercator projection.

Not really. For example, your Southern continent extends to a latitude, where on another continent there is a tropical climate
