A subtropical climate is, as the name implies, somewhat less than tropical. Although winters in these zones are much milder than those of temperate regions, frost is a possibility and extreme low temperatures can occasionally drop to —5°F(—21°C). Normally, winter day temperatures average from 55 to 60°F (13—16°C), while night temperatures average from 35 to 45°F (2—8°C).
Summer months usually average from 75 to 80°F’ (24— 27°C) during the day, and nighttime lows are ordinarily in the high 50s to the low 70s F (15—22°C). Extreme daytime highs can reach 110°F (43°C). Average summer humidity is approximately 70% to 80%. Average annual precipitation is 30 to 65 inches (76—165 cm).
Almost all of the southeastern United States below the border of Virginia and North Carolina is encompassed by a subtropical climate. This subtropical zone, like the temperate zone of the United States, reaches west to approximately 100°W longitude (extreme southern Florida is excluded from this climatic zone). Most of the West Coast of the United States has a subtropical climate, and much of southern Europe is subject to a subtropical clime that is prove to be the ideal temperatures for most temperate and subtropical species.
