Humid Subtropical Climates (Cfa) tend to form on the eastern sides of Continents ex. southeastern US, southeastern China, northern Argentina, and Eastern Australia. However there are some spots that are classified as Cfa in Europe and western Asia. So which climate in this region can best compare with the other subtropical climates. Or do you even consider them to be subtropical? And where would you draw the line since I know many people who don't view all Cfa climates as "subtropical"

Sochi. High summer rainfall and rather evenly distributed throughout the year.

Trento, Italy might have a typical humid subtropical climate, assuming it's a warmer version of Bozen:

Rasht is the warmest climate that I'd not classify as Csa, so therefore it wins!

Gorgan, Sari, Split, Genoa, Dubrovnik, and Rasht are all solid Csa. Not Cfa.

The rest are all equally Cfa. There's nothing "more" or "less" subtropical about a climate. It's either subtropical or it isn't. I guess if it's borderline, but none of these are.

So of these which would you say is the "typical" Humid Subtropical Climates?
What about Huesca, Spain or Barcelona, Spain?



Barcelona:



Barcelona has far warmer climates than all of those ones. It's more subtropical for the mean average?

I think Rijeka has a pretty typical Cfa climate with lots of rain and high sunshine compared to the other proper Cfa climates in Europe (2200h). I think eastern Usa at latitudes around Norfolk is a typical average Cfa climate, and Rijeka is pretty similar. Oddly enough, dew points are only 17'C. Also it sadly just misses out on Trewartha.

Yes, I was thinking coast of Croatia as most subtropical,
there are areas with mild winters and tons of rain.

Oh yeah I forgot that Barcelona is classified as Cfa, thanks for reminding me.

Well I think a place can be more subtropical if it is far away from being borderline anything, for instance I don't really consider Milan to be subtropical since it has frosty winters, and also many on the list still have a drying trend in summer or some other in even distribution of precipitation, when Cfa climates are only supposed to have even distribution or if there is a dry season, then only in winter.
