Subtropics

The subtropics are climate zones typical of parts of the Earth immediately north and south of the tropical zone, which is bounded by the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, at latitudes 23.5°N and 23.5°S. Subtropical regions are the climatic regions typically found adjacent to the tropics, usually between 23.5 and 40 degrees of latitude in both hemispheres, although such climates may occur at greater latitudes, or within the tropics themselves.
