The fifth episode in a series exploring all the major climate zones of the world, here we show this part of the world in its full beauty, and uncover the secrets of why it is that way and show you the cities that lie within its influence.

Covering every inhabited continent on Earth, the Humid Subtropical covers a full quarter of the United States, that being the south-east quadrant, including major cities such as Houston, New Orleans, Atlanta, Orlando, Washington D.C. and New York City. Much of Mexico, in the uplands on either side of the central mountains is under the monsoon variant of this climate, including its second largest city of Guadalajara.

Much of the eastern central part of South America is covered by this climate, including southern Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and northern Argentina, and major cities such as Sao Paulo, Montevideo and Buenos Aires.

Northern Italy, specifically the Po Valley, and the cities of Turin, Milan and Venice, parts of the Balkans and the Serbian Sava plain, and coasts of the Black Sea also experience this climate. Parts of southern Africa also come under this climate zone, including the province of Kwazulu-Natal in South Africa and the cities of Durban and Port Elizabeth.

In Asia, the Humid Subtropical climate dominates the whole of Northern India, including the capital Delhi, the massively populated Ganges River system, and most of densely populated regions of China, including the cities of Chengdu, Guangzhou (Canton), Shenzhen, Macau, Hong Kong, Nanjing and Shanghai. Taiwan is also wholly covered by this climate. Most of the population of Japan is under this climate also, with all of the southern and eastern main islands featuring the four distinct seasons that define the Humid Subtropical.

Lastly, the island continent of Australia, specifically the eastern coast from Queensland down to New South Wales, and those state capitals of Brisbane and Sydney, features this climate.

The Humid Subtropical climate has given rise to the two oldest civilisations on the planet, those of China and India. The part this climate has paid in this development is due to its plentiful rain and moderate seasonal temperatures, allowing massive cultivation and tolerable living conditions for humans.

This in-depth study of the Hot Desert Climate is essential preparation for the IAS Exam and UPSC Exams of the Indian Civil Service.
