Is this place Humid Subtropical or Oceanic? (averages, temperature, rainfall)

[Max96]

Humid subtropical, oceanic climates can't have 28C+ highs in summer.

Subtropical.

Interesting. What city/climate is that?

At 41S latitude my own climate has a range of 11.3C. I can't find anywhere else that high at sea level, although there could be somewhere I missed.


The highest humid subtropical I could find was 10-11C. Argentina has locations at 43-45" S, that are around 13C, although they are semi arid climates

I would say it's neither. it's warm temperate(temperate and sub-tropical are not the same thing).

Picton is subtropical.
Besides, biome is subropical :
Eastern Australian temperate forests

subtropical because:

summer highs are too high to be considered oceanic
it rains more in the summer than in the winter (oceanic would be the opposite)
winter is really mild

record lows are really low for summer though.

overall a very mild climate, summers are not too hot and winters are really mild. I wonder if it gets a lot of sun... I can't think of any similar climate in Europe... maybe parts of Portugal save for the lack of summer drought ?

Not true of all oceanic climates. New Zealand has climates with a summer rainfall maximum.

[forgotten username]

NZ lies in the same category as south australian climates then.

Despite its higher rainfall in the summer, it does get more drought in that season than in winter - specifically spring/early summer. That's why the bushfires in here occur in that period (late spring/early summer) - dry weather.

Late summer and early winter are considerably wet in southern NSW (Sydney, Picton, Wollongong, etc).
