These climates are in the polar front region in winter, and thus have moderate temperatures and changeable, rainy weather. Laos is a landlocked country in Southeast Asia situated in the Indochinese Peninsula. For me it's from Frederick MD to just south of Wilmington DE and down skipping any and all Appalachian areas and I would say from around Lexington KY down on the other side of the mountains although Lexington is chilly compare to east of the Appalachian mountains.

Maritime temperate climates (most of Koppen’s Cfb and Cwb climates, though some of these would fit into Trewartha’s Cr and Cw respectively) are denoted DO in the Trewartha classification (although some places (like Halifax) near the east coasts of both North America and Asia actually qualify as DO climates in Trewartha’s scheme when they fit into Cfa/Cwa rather than Cfb/Cwb in Koppen’s), while continental climates are represented as DCa (Koppen Dfa, Dwa, Dsa) and DCb (Koppen Dfb, Dwb, Dsb). It straddles the Equator between the Tropic of Cancer and halfway the Tropic of Capricorn, with the Equator passing through only Indonesia.

[6] Tropical rainforests technically do not have dry or wet seasons, since their rainfall is equally distributed through the year. In biogeography, the tropics are divided into Paleotropics (Africa, Asia and Australia) and Neotropics (Caribbean, Central America, and South America). Temperatures hover in the 90s during the day and evening, with high humidity punctuated by sudden downpours. A humid subtropical climate is a zone of climate characterized by hot and humid summers, and cold to mild winters. In many other climate classification systems outside of the Köppen, most of these locations would not be included in the humid subtropical grouping. The northwestern coast of Honshu probably has the most fascinating climate on earth. Temperate Climate with Dry Winter (Cwb): The temperate climate with dry winters (Cwb) is a type of climate characteristic of the highlands inside the tropics of Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Madagascar, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa but it is also found in the Argentine province of Cordoba, outside the tropics.

Frosts are extremely rare except at higher elevations, but temperatures over 35 °C (95 °F) are not common on the coast. Major cities such as São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Porto Alegre and Montevideo, have a humid subtropical climate, generally in the form of hot and humid summers, and mild to cool winters. Cfb climates are also encountered at high elevations in certain subtropical and tropical areas, where the climate would be that of a subtropical/tropical rain forest if not for the altitude. These highland areas feature summer temperatures that are warm enough to fall outside the subtropical highland climate category. Some of the places that have this climate are indeed uniformly and monotonously wet throughout the year (e.g., the northwest Pacific coast of South and Central America, from Ecuador to Costa Rica, see for instance, Andagoya, Colombia), but in many cases the period of higher Sun and longer days is distinctly wettest (as at Palembang, Indonesia) or the time of lower Sun and shorter days may have more rain (as at Sitiawan, Malaysia). 4,000 km), have long dry periods (the extreme is the BSh climate, characterised by very low, unreliable precipitation, present, for instance, in extensive areas in the Guajira, and Coro, western Venezuela, the northernmost peninsulas in South America, which receive < 300 mm total annual precipitation, practically all in two or three months). Before uploading and sharing your knowledge on this site, please read the following pages: 1. Most summer rainfall occurs during thunderstorms that build up due to the intense surface heating and strong subtropical sun angle. These climates are characterised by average temperatures below 10°C (5°F) in all twelve months of the year: Warmest month has an average temperature between 0°C (32°F) and 10°C (50°F). Some lower portions of the Ethiopian Highlands also have this climate. It also classes southern New England into the same climate as the Gulf Coast.

Journal of Tropical Geography, Arnold, David. Some climatologists, particularly in the United States, however, prefer to observe 0°C (32°F) rather than “3°C (26.6°F) in the coldest month as the boundary between this group and Group D; this is done to prevent certain headland locations in or near New England — principally Cape Cod — and such nearby islands as Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, from fitting into the Maritime Temperate category noted below; this category is alternately known as the Marine West Coast climate, and eliminating the aforementioned locations indeed confines it exclusively to places found along the western margins of the continents, at least in the Northern Hemisphere.

Specifically, this would apply if correcting the average temperature of each month to a sea- level value using the formula of adding 5.6°C for each 1,000 meters of elevation would result in the climate fitting into a different thermal group than that into which the actual monthly temperatures place it. Temperatures and pressure are relatively uniform while humidity is high and rainfall is in abundant. A humid subtropical climate is a zone of climate characterized by hot and humid summers, and cold to mild winters. The coastal strip from Mackay, Queensland to the southern coast of Sydney, where it transitions into the cooler and wet oceanic climates. the wild Amazonian rainforests'. [12][14][15][16] Under the Holdridge life zones classification, the subtropical climates have a biotemperature between the frost or critical temperature line, 16 to 18 °C (61 to 64 °F) (depending on locations in the world) and 24 °C (75 °F), and these climates are humid (or even perhumid or superhumid) when the potential evapotranspiration (PET) ratio (= PET / Precipitation) is less than 1. These climates normally lie on the southeast side of all continents, generally between latitudes 25° and 35° and are located poleward from adjacent tropical climates.

ii. They also tend to be foggy. The tropical zone includes deserts and snow-capped mountains, which are not tropical in the climatic sense. The higher summer precipitation and poleward flow of tropical air-masses in summer are not present in Europe as they are in eastern Australia or the southern United States. Representatives from North American, Europe, Asia and Africa attended the discussions. The tropical monsoon climate is a type of tropical climate that results from the monsoon winds and has a short, distinct dry season. As an example Lismore which lies in the centre of this zone, the annual rainfall can range from less than 550 millimetres (22 in) in 1915 to more than 2,780 millimetres (109 in) in 1950.[23]. Continental/Micro-Thermal Climate 5. Clear editor. [11][12][13] At the northernmost limits of this zone, cities such as New York City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore typically see snowfall during the winter, with occasional heavy snowstorms.
