Description

Cwa: C = Mild temperate  w = Dry winter  a = Hot summer

A humid subtropical climate is a zone of climate characterised 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 Cwa 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.
