yeah I think they're classified as something like "Marine" climate.

um...no.

there is nothing subtropical about St. Louis. Not now, not ever. Should'nt have been listed at all.

I wish people would stop trying to make certain cities something they're not.

St. Louis is on the border between humid continental and subtropical though. St. Louis has hot humid summers which is characteristic of subtropical climates.

at the most, they have summer climate. But they have very cold falls and harsh winters.

Like I said St. Louis is borderline. Technically it is considered humid continental because it is a mix of both. But most of the southern half of the state of Missouri is subtropical.

Its only the first few weeks of June and St. Louis is already in the mid to upper 80s. Its pretty close to subtropical. It does not matter that St. Louis has a few cold spurts in the winter.

St. Louis really isn't borderline. The southern most part of Missouri just makes the subtropical zone. St. Louis is not in that zone. It's further north of it.

St. Louis doesn't have "a few cold spurts" in the winter. It has very harsh winters. Snow, freezing rain, sleet, ice...the whole works. I know it gets hot in the summer, but it's winters generally aren't mild. It's in the midwest.

These climate classifications lack any real substance. While there are discrete requisites to fall under one label or another, they are too broad to have any real meaning.

Are New York City and Miami really interchangeable, climatically speaking?

Miami isn't interchangeable with any city in the humid subtropical climate.
