A polar-equatorial climate model by Cess and Cladwell (1979) is extended to all latitudes of Saturn. Modifications for solar absorption within the stratosphere are made in the extension to intermediate latitudes. The latitudinally and temporally variable effects of sunlight absorption by the rings of Saturn are included in the model. Temperature-latitude profiles for several levels within the Saturn stratosphere are presented for January 1981, which should be directly comparable with Saturn Voyager observations in November 1980 and August 1981. Temperature-pressure profiles for latitudes +30 degrees and -25 degrees are provided, which correspond to the planned points at which radio equipment aboard Voyager II will produce occultation observations.
