Temperate and Subtropical Zones

Saturday, February 19th, 2011


Normally, winter day temperatures average from 55 to 60 degrees F (13-16 C), while night temperatures average from 35 to 45 degrees F (2-8 C).

Summer months usually average from 75 to 80 degrees F (24-27 C) during the day, and nightime 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 climate that is sometimes referred to as a Mediterranean climate. Other areas with subtropical climate that are not as extensive can be found in extreme northern and southern Africa as well as eastern and southern Australia. In South America subtropical zones are located in part of Southern Brazil, a section of northeastern Argentina, and all of Uruguay.

Subtropical Climate

Monday, November 23rd, 2009


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.

Temperate Climate

     The term “temperate” suggests that the weather conditions within this climate type are moderate in all ways. However, mean annual temperatures can vary significantly from region to region, and maximum high and low fluctuations in daily thermometer readings differ within each individual area.

     Daytime high temperatures in summer months can register close to 100 degrees F (38 C). This might well be accompanied by a relative humidity factor of nearly 100%. Such uncomfortable conditions are seldom found in tropical rainforest climates of the world’s jungles.

     By contrast, winter temperatures are capable of dipping far below O degree F. Although relative humidity is much lower during the winter months, many areas that are defined as temperate zones receive heavy snowfalls. Average annual precipitation, both rain and snow, is approximately 20-40 inches (50-100cm) in temperate climates.

     A temperate climate prevails throughout the northeastern United States as far south as the border of Virginia and North Carolina. This temperate zone stretches west to approximately 100 W longitude. Much of Europe is also in a temperate climate, and many relatively smaller areas of this climate type are scattered throughout the world.

     Considering the harsh extremes in temperature that must be endured by the indigenous reptiles, it seems reasonable that the number of lizard species is limited in these climatic regions, but certain skinks (Scincidae), lacertids (Lacertidae), and swifts (Iguanidae) are capable of thriving in such environments. These mainly terrestrial lizards must burrow into the earth of otherwise secure a location for hibernation when the cold winter months arrive. Overexposure to extreme heat is also life-threatening to these lizards.
