===Humid subtropical climate=== [[File:Fog in Tây Bắc.jpg|thumb|right|alt=Scene showing fog over a river with people walking on a pathway beside it | [[Fog|Natural fog]] in [[Northwest (Vietnam)|Northwest Vietnam]]]] [[File:Wetland Hong Kong.jpg|thumb|right|[[Hong Kong Wetland Park|Wetland Park]] in [[Hong Kong]]]] {{Main|Humid subtropical climate}} The humid subtropical climate is a subtropical climate type characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild winters. This climate can be found in northern [[Middle East]], northern [[South Asia]], [[Northern Vietnam]], eastern [[Australia]], southern and southeastern [[China]], southern [[Japan]], the deep [[southeastern United States]], southeastern [[South America]], southeastern [[Southern Africa]], northcentral [[Southern Europe]], and southern and southwestern [[Eastern Europe]]. {{citation needed|date=June 2023}} In most humid subtropical climates, summer is the wettest season. In summer, the subtropical high pressure cells provide a sultry southernly flow of tropical air with high dew points, and frequent (but brief) convective showers are common. With decreasing latitude most humid subtropical climates typically have drier winters and wetter summers, however some sectors with this climate see a more even rhythm of seasonal rainfall. Tropical lows and weakening tropical storms often contribute to seasonal rainfall in most humid subtropical climates. In the cool season (winter) the subtropical highs retreat, and the humid subtropics are more influenced by the westerlies and the fronts and storms that move with them.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}} {{climate chart | [[Hanoi]], [[Vietnam]] |14.4|19.4|22.5 |15.8|20.4|24.6 |18.4|23.2|47.0 |21.9|27.7|91.8 |24.8|31.9|185.4 |26.4|33.4|253.3 |26.5|33.4|280.1 |26.1|32.6|309.4 |25.2|31.5|228.3 |22.8|29.2|140.7 |19.3|25.7|66.7 |15.8|22.0|20.2 |float=right |clear=none |source = Vietnam Institute for Building Science and Technology<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ibst.vn/DATA/nhyen/QCVN%2002-2009%20BXD%20So%20lieu%20tu%20nhien.pdf |title=Vietnam Building Code: Natural Physical & Climatic Data for Construction |publisher=ibst.vn |date= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180722172120/http://ibst.vn/DATA/nhyen/QCVN%2002-2009%20BXD%20So%20lieu%20tu%20nhien.pdf |access-date=2022-05-25|archive-date=22 July 2018 }}</ref> }} {{climate chart | [[São Paulo]], [[Brazil]] | 18.7 | 27.4 | 239 | 18.8 | 28.0 | 217 | 18.2 | 27.2 | 160 | 16.3 | 25.1 | 76 | 13.8 | 23.0 | 74 | 12.4 | 21.8 | 56 | 11.7 | 21.8 | 44 | 12.8 | 23.3 | 39 | 13.9 | 23.9 | 81 | 15.3 | 24.8 | 124 | 16.6 | 25.9 | 146 | 17.7 | 26.3 | 201 |float = left |clear = none |source =}} {{climate chart |[[New Delhi]], [[India]] |6.7|20.8|18.9 |9.1|23.9|16.6 |14.1|30.0|10.8 |20.5|36.9|30.4 |25.1|40.5|29.0 |27.6|39.8|54.3 |26.4|35.4|216.8 |25.6|33.7|247.6 |23.8|34.2|133.8 |18.8|33.3|15.4 |12.8|28.3|6.6 |7.8|22.7|15.2 |source=[http://www.imd.gov.in/section/nhac/mean/Delhi%230Palam.htm IMD] {{dead link|date=March 2020}} |float=right |clear=none }} {{Clear}} {{Clear}}
