Maritime temperate -- countries with mild wettish winters, mild summers and no dry season. e.g. UK, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Netherlands, Ireland, northern France, New Zealand (esp. South Island). Typical summer temp highs 20-30C, winter daily highs -2 to +7C. Frost is common, snow is rare at sea level.
Continental temperate -- countries with cold but not bitter winters and warm to rather hot summers. Snow lies for 1-4 months in winter but temps usually get above 0C most days. Summer highs in the 30s, not 40s usually. e.g. Poland, Hungary, Slovakia.
East coasts of continents tend to have this climate zone at a lower latitude than west coasts, e.g. Newfoundland and Honshu (Japan).

Typically, any country which falls between the latitudes of 30-60 degrees (north or south) of the equator. "Temperate" generally means a climate that experiences both a hot and a cold season, as well as the transitional period in between.
