==== Humid subtropical (Cfa) and monsoon subtropical (Cwa) climates==== [[File:Koppen World Map Cwa Cfa.png|thumb|upright=1.4|Regions where the humid (Cfa) and dry-winter subtropical (Cwa) climates are found.]] [[Humid subtropical climate]]s generally have long, hot and humid summers with frequent convective showers in summer, and a peak seasonal rainfall in the hottest months. Winters are normally mild and above freezing in the humid subtropics. Warm ocean currents are usually found in coastal areas with humid subtropical climates.<ref>{{Cite web |title=humid subtropical climate {{!}} climatology |url=https://www.britannica.com/science/humid-subtropical-climate |access-date=2022-03-27 |website=Britannica |language=en}}</ref> This type of climate is normally located along leeward lower east coasts of continents such as in southeast and central [[Argentina]], [[Uruguay]] and south of [[Brazil]], [[Northern Vietnam]], the southeast portions of [[East Asia]], [[Southern United States|southern]] and portions of the northeast and midwestern [[United States]] and portions of, [[South Africa]], [[Ethiopia]], and eastern [[Australia]]. In some areas with a humid subtropical climate (most notably southeast [[China]] and [[North India]]), there is an even sharper wet-dry season, called a monsoon subtropical climate or subtropical monsoon (Cwa). In these regions, winters are quite chilly and dry and summers have very heavy rainfall. Some Cwa areas in southern China report more than 80% of annual precipitation in the five warmest months (southwest monsoon).
