Geography Dictionary: subtropical
Top

The term is used loosely to refer either to regions which experience some features of tropical meteorology during part of the year, or to regions of near-tropical climate.

A more precise definition denotes those areas lying between the Tropic of Cancer and 40° N, and the Tropic of Capricorn and 40° S.
