Subtropical climates are between tropical and temperate climates in their characteristics.
Subtropical climates are typically characterized by: Cool to moderate temperatures during the winter, and moderate to hot temperatures in the summer Various humidity levels Medium amounts of percipitation A range of cloud cover, some days resulting in diffuse lighting and other resulting in ... |

 | Tropical climates are typically characterized by: Hot temperatures throughout the year High humidity High amounts of percipitation A range of cloud cover, often resulting in diffuse lighting Relatively little change in length of daylight hours in the different seasons |

 | Desert climates are typically characterized by: Cold temperatures at night and hot temperatures in the daytime Low humidity Low amounts of precipitation Little cloud cover resulting in very directional lighting Because most of the world's deserts are located close to the equator, desert climates tend to have relatively little change in length of daylight hours in the different seasons |
