These climates normally lie on the southeast side of all continents (except Antarctica), generally between warm temperate climate in some climate classifications. Under the Cfa and Cwa climates are either described as humid subtropical climates or warm temperate climates. This climate features mean temperature in the coldest month between 0°C (32°F) (or −3°C (27°F)) and 18°C (64°F) and mean temperature in the warmest month 22°C (72°F) or higher. However, while some climatologists have opted to describe this climate type as a "humid subtropical climate", [ citation needed] In this classification, climates are termed humid subtropical when they have at least 8 months with a mean temperature above 10°C (50°F). While many subtropical climates tend to be located at or near coastal locations, in some cases, they extend inland, most notably in Characteristics [ ] In a humid subtropical climate, summers are typically long, hot and h...

Most subtropical climates fall into two basic types: Subtropical climates can also occur at high elevations within the A great portion of the world's deserts are within the subtropics, as this is where the semi-permanent subtropical anticyclone resides (typically inland on the southwest sides of continents). Areas bordering warm oceans (typically on the southeast sides of continents) have hot and wet summers with frequent (but brief) convective rainfall ( Definition [ ] Several methods have been used to define the subtropical climat...

Description Cfa: C = Mild temperate f = No distinct dry season a = Hot summer A humid subtropical climate is a zone of climate characterized by hot and humid summers, and cool to mild winters. These climates normally lie on the southeast side of all continents (except Antarctica), generally between latitudes 25° and 40° and are located poleward from adjacent tropical climates. It is also known as warm temperate climate in some climate classifications. The Cfa climate features mean temperature in the coldest month between 0°C and 18°C and mean temperature in the warmest month 22°C or higher. The moderate winter temperatures do not produce frozen ground or allow a permanent snow cover for over a month. While many subtropical climates tend to be located at or near coastal locations, in some cases, they extend inland, most notably in China and the United States where they exhibit more pronounced seasonal variations and sharper contrasts between summer and winter, as part of a gradient between the hotter tropical climates of the southern coasts and the colder continental climates to the north and further inland. As such, the climate can be said to exhibit somewhat different features depending on whether it is found inland, or in a maritime position due to the temperature moderating impacts of nearby bodies of water. In a humid subtropical climate, summers are typically long, hot and humid. Monthly mean summer temperatures are normally between 24 and 27°C. A deep current of trop...

Areas of the world with subtropical climate • Humid subtropical , Where rain usually concentrates in the hottest months (Brisbane, Australia, or Jacksonville in Florida). • Dry summer , Or Mediterranean, where seasonal precipitation is concentrated in colder months (eg Naples in Italy or Los Angeles in California). Subtropical climates also occur at high elevations within the tropics, such as the southern tip of the Mexican plateau in Vietnam and Taiwan. From this classification six climatic subclassifications are given to facilitate the identification of the different regimes of temperature and precipitation. Much of the world's deserts are found within subtropical zones. In the subtropical savannas, summer is considered the wet season and is when the greatest amount of annual precipitation falls. Within the Mediterranean climatic regimes, the wet season is winter. Areas that border the warm oceans receive intense local rains because of tropical cyclones that encourage them. The plants grown in these areas are palm trees, citrus, mango, lychee and avocado, among others. Background of the climatic classification The earliest known climatic classifications were those of the classical Greek period, whose schemes generally divided the Earth into latitudinal zones based on the significant parallels of 0 °, 23.5 ° and 66.5 ° latitude (ie, the Equator, the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, and Arctic and Antarctic circles, respectively), taking into account the length of the day....

The Köppen climate classification divides climates into five main climate groups, with each group being divided based on patterns of seasonal precipitation and temperature. The five main groups are A (tropical), B (arid), C (temperate), D (continental), and E (polar). Each group and subgroup is represented by a letter. All climates are assigned a main group (the first letter). All climates except for those in the E group are assigned a seasonal precipitation subgroup (the second letter). For example, Af indicates a A group, indicated by the third letter for climates in B, C, D, and the second letter for climat...

Published June 8, 2023 9:10am EDT It’s official: World enters El Nino climate pattern The warming of the central and eastern Pacific Ocean can have significant impacts on global weather, and when sea surface temperature anomalies reach 0.5°C or warmer than what is typical, an El Niño is considered to be underway. Sea surface temperature anomalies in critical parts of the Pacific Ocean have warmed enough for NOAA to declare an El Niño event to be underway. NOAA says their latest measurements recorded the anomaly at 0.8 degrees Celsius above average, exceeding the required 0.5-degree threshold. Sea surface temperature anomalies in critical parts of the Pacific Ocean have warmed enough for NOAA to declare an An El Niño is one of three possible phases of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and forms when sea surface temperature anomalies reach 0.5 °C or warmer than normal values. NOAA says their latest measurements recorded the anomaly at 0.8°C above average. It is the first time the world has plunged into El Niño territory since 2019, and if past events are a telltale sign of what the future has in store, the global Some experts have dubbed El Niño to be the world’s ultimate "master weather-maker" as its influences impact everything from animal migrations to the amount of billion-dollar disasters reported around the globe.

Understanding how rainfall will respond, and is already responding, to climate change at the regional or country level scale is one of the greatest challenges in climate science. Climate models often disagree with each other on regional projections — sometimes even on whether a region will experience more or less rainfall in future — and this provides particular difficulties for climate change adaptation planning. However, one place where climate models do broadly agree is in the subtropics, where large areas of drying are projected, particularly over the oceans. • He, J. & Soden, B. Nat. Clim.

\( \newcommand\) • • • What climate characteristics is the moist subtropical group likely to have? • Temperature: The coldest month ranges from just below freezing to almost balmy, between −3 ºC and 18 ºC (27º to 64 ºF). Summers are mild with average temperatures above 10 ºC (50 ºF). Seasons are distinct. • Rainfall: There is plentiful annual rainfall. Dry Summer Subtropical or Mediterranean Climates (Cs) The Dry Summer Subtropical climate is found on the western sides of continents between 30º and 45º latitude. Annual rainfall is 30 to 90 cm (14 to 35 inches), most of which comes in the winter . The climate is typical of coastal California, which sits beneath a summertime high pressure for about five months each year. Land and sea breezes make winters moderate and summers cool. Vegetation must survive long summer droughts. The scrubby, woody vegetation that thrives in this climate is called chaparral. The Humid Subtropical climate zone is found mostly on the eastern sides of continents . Rain falls throughout the year with annual averages between 80 and 165 cm (31 and 65 inches). Summer days are humid and hot, from the lower 30s up to 40 ºC (mid-80s up to 104 ºF). Afternoon and evening thunderstorms are common. These conditions are caused by warm tropical air passing over the hot continent. Winters are mild, but middle-latitude storms called cyclones may bring snow and rain. The southeastern United States, with its hot humid summers and mild, but frosty winters, is typic...
