	Subtropics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The subtropics (also semitropics) refers to regions of the Earth immediately north and south of the two tropic regions, which are bounded by the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, at latitude 23.5 ° north and south.
		A subtropical climate implies that the air temperature usually does not go below freezing (0°C).
		The poleward limit of such climates is higher on the west coasts of the northern continents and lower on the east coasts, because occasional Winter cold snaps reach farther south in the east.

		These areas typically have very warm to hot summers, but non-tropical winters.
		In certain areas of the world the subtropics are plagued by tropical cyclones that originate in the tropics in the summer and fall.

		An excellent example of the use of magnetic methods and the system approach to reconstruct climate variability in subtropical Africa during the Pliocene and Pleistocene is provided by deMenocal and Bloemendal [in press].
		They demonstrated that prior to about 2.8 Ma, high-latitude and low-latitude climate regimes were independent, but that when ice sheets progressively expanded after 2.8 Ma producing increasingly larger climate oscillations, low-latitude climate became dependent on the high-latitude glacial-interglacial cycles.
		After 2.8 Ma, aridity was controlled instead by the high-latitude climate regime including the North Atlantic sea-surface temperature (SST) as well as the size and elevation of the ice sheet.

	Lecture: Climates, Dr. Rodrigue
		This climate is affected by the Subpolar Low and the Westerlies all year round: It never escapes the humidity and raininess associated with these, though it is a bit weaker in the summer, since the Subpolar Low shifts poleward, reconnects over land, and weakens.
		So you see a transition from the dry winter of the Tropical Wet and Dry climate to the wet all year Humid Subtropical climate, and a transition from the heat of the A climates to the mildness of the C climates.
		If you look at the map, you'll notice that these climates are not found until really high latitudes on the west sides of landmasses (60° N), but you find them at rather low latitudes (40 or 50° N) in the interior of the landmasses.
