context_page_description: This list of locations with a subtropical climate specifically lists locations considered within the subtropics. The subtropics are geographic and climate zones located roughly between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn and the 40th parallel in both hemispheres. Subtropical climate regions can exist at high elevations within the tropics, such as across the Mexican Plateau and in Vietnam and Taiwan. Six climate classifications utilise the term to help define the various temperature and precipitation regions for the planet Earth. Using the Trewartha climate classification eight or more months of the year within the subtropics have an average temperature at or above 10 °C. The Köppen climate classification instead classifies the warmest month above 22 °C and the coldest above 0 °C or −3 °C depending on preference. Under both classifications, at least one month must average below 18 °C or the climate is considered tropical.
  Leslie Holdridge defined the subtropical climates as having a mean annual biotemperature between the frost line or critical temperature line, 16°C to 18°C and 24°C. The frost line separates the warm temperate region from the subtropical region.
