subtropical
This term describes a specific climatic transition zone. It is used to distinguish regions that are hot and humid but lack the constant, year-round uniformity of the true tropics, meaning they experience more distinct seasonal shifts in temperature and precipitation.
When used as a noun, the term typically appears in the plural form "the subtropics" to refer to the global geographic belts located just north and south of the tropical zone. It is rarely used in the singular unless referring to a specific, singular subtropical region.
