Extended data:

First, the causes of subtropical monsoon humid climate

Especially, the precipitation in the middle and upper reaches of Tennessee River in the United States is mostly concentrated in winter and spring. This is because the Gulf Stream, the largest warm current in the world, is located in the south of the United States, which is the result of the encounter between warm air masses and cold air masses from the polar regions. Because central North America is a vast plain, cold air flows south to the mouth of the Mississippi River, meets with warm air, forms clouds, and causes rainfall.

Second, the correlation distribution

On the east coast of the mainland at 25 ~ 35 north latitude, it is mainly distributed in southern China, southeastern United States, southeastern Brazil and coastal areas such as Argentina and Australia. Its most prominent feature is that the average temperature in Leng Yue is above zero in winter, it is hot and rainy in summer (it is often said that rain and heat are in the same period), the four seasons are distinct, and the winter is mild and humid.
