The subtropics are regions of the Earth located between the tropics and the temperate zones, typically found between latitudes 23.5° and 35° in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. These areas experience warm to hot summers and mild winters, with distinct seasonal changes. The climate is often characterized by a mix of humid and dry conditions, depending on the specific location. Subtropical regions can be found on all continents and include diverse ecosystems, such as subtropical forests, savannas, and deserts. Notable examples of subtropical areas include parts of California, Florida, and Australia. These regions are important for agriculture, supporting crops like citrus fruits and grapes.
