Mesothermal (C) Climates – Perpetually Moist (Cf) Climates
There are two major regional groupings and they both are near a major source of water: the Humid Subtropical (Cfa) Climate is created by the warm moist air travelling around the western part of subtropical high. It locates in the southeastern corner of the five major continents, with a total rainfall nearly as much as tropical rainforests. Marine West Coast (Cfb, Cfc) Climate influenced by the westerlies winds all year-round, occurring by the coast. Whidbey Island or San Juan Island for example, the humidity and precipitation stay above the minimum while they fluctuate throughout the year.
