South America Köppen climate map [24] As part of the Hadley model of atmospheric circulation, the equator is characterised by the ascending branches of separate meridional cells, driven by intense insolation. [25] [26] The vertical convection draws in air from the surrounding atmosphere, known as the trade winds.

Köppen-Geiger climate classification map for South America [35] All of the world's major climate zones are present in South America. [36] The distribution of the average temperatures in the region presents a constant regularity from the 30° of latitude south, when the isotherms tend, more and more, to be confused with the degrees of latitude ...
The arid diagonal can be seen in the form of the almost contiguous zone of BWh and BWk climate (red and pink on this map) running from Ecuador to Southern Patagonia. The Arid Diagonal (Spanish: diagonal árida/arreica ) is a contiguous zone of arid and semi-arid climate that traverses South America from coastal Peru in the Northwest to ...
Some of the places with this climate are indeed uniformly and monotonously wet throughout the year (e.g., the northwest Pacific coast of South and Central America, from Ecuador to Costa Rica; see, for instance, Andagoya, Colombia), but in many cases, the period of higher sun and longer days is distinctly wettest (as at Palembang, Indonesia) or ...
Throughout the year, the South Pacific High influences the climate by bringing cold, moist air masses originating from Patagonia. [25] [26] During the most intense cold waves, they form when a transient high pressure system located in the South Pacific Ocean moves eastwards to the southern tip of South America.
The humid subtropical zone of the US South according to Trewartha is coloured yellow-green on this map: If using the Köppen climate classification with the 0 °C coldest-month isotherm, the subtropics extend from Martha's Vineyard, extreme SW Rhode Island, and most of Long Island to central Florida in the eastern states, include the southern ...
