A hot subtropical climate, with a dry winter, is one of the three climate types described as monsoonal.
It is labelled ‘Cwa’ by the Köppen–Geiger scheme for the classification of climates, which requires:
- the warmest month of the year to have an average temperature of 22 °C or above
- at least four months of the year to have an average temperature of 10 °C or above
- the coldest month of the year to have an average temperature above -3 °C
- annual precipitation to exceed the annual potential evapotranspiration
- the driest month of winter to have less than 10% the precipitation of the wettest summer month.
