Humid subtropical because it has at least one month above 20C and the coldest month is above 6C in my gradual scale

Maquinchao,Argentina has the closest to continental climate that we have here in Southern Hemisphere,here its last year january and july :




From 35C in January to -14.6C in July,with some subfreezing days,good enough for a Southern Hemisphere town don't?

Well, we've had a few days above freezing (including close to +10C on the weekend) and will be above freezing for the next few days too (from +7C today to +12-14C on the weekend).


This has many people thinking winter is over.


Still lots of snow (maybe 50 cm on the ground) but grass is showing up all over the place on roadsides and next to buildings. We seem to lose 5-10 cm per day when it's at least +5C. Of course we lose a lot more when it rains.


But I think people will be surprised. The long-range forecast is showing fairly normal temperatures for March, which means it will be fairly cold.

Any places in the world that have a low rainfall amount (say under 700mm), but an incredible amount of rainy days?

Ouse has a decent climate for Tasmania. Can routinely get warm days in summer and has the chance for some really cold days in winter when fog gets trapped there.

These are good and surprisingly as impressive.

Yeah. Now I like cool summer nights, but a 9C low after a 30C high is still a bit too much. Hardly summery.

I'd say Launceston has good summer weather in Tasmania.

That's pretty much an ideal summer forecast for me. Nice and varied with a some mild days and some hot days and cool nights and lots of sun but one day with rain. Just change the day with a showers to a thunderstorms and add in one 35-37C day and it's perfect. Averages are much cooler though so this is probably an anomalous week there.

Had several nights at or below 9C here in Shepparton lately - I certainly feel that this disqualifies the area as having a subtropical climate, along with places like Wagga and Albury. Those cool summer nights indicate they are a variant of Oceanic climate.
