Climatic regions of Argentina
Due to its vast size and wide range of altitudes, Argentina possesses a wide variety of climatic regions ranging from subtropical with hot weather in the north to subantarctic in the far south. Lying between those is the Pampas region featuring a mild and humid climate. As to be expected with that range of climates, there is a wide variety of biomes in the country, including subtropical rain forests, semi-arid and arid regions, temperate plains in the Pampas, and cold Subantarctic in the south. However, despite the diversity of biomes, about two-thirds of Argentina is arid or semi-arid.〔
In general, Argentina has four main climate types: warm, moderate, arid, and cold in which the extension of the country along with its relief features determines the different varieties in the main climate types.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Geography and Climate of Argentina )〕 The northern parts of the country are characterized by hot, humid summers with mild drier winters, and highly seasonal precipitation. Central Argentina has hot summers with tornadoes and thunderstorms and cool, drier winters. The southern regions of the country have warm summers and cold winters with heavy snowfall, especially in mountainous zones. Many regions have different, and sometimes contrasting, microclimates. High elevations at all latitudes experience cooler conditions.
The major factors that influence the climate of each region are latitude, altitude, and the migration of the South Pacific and South Atlantic highs. Because of the narrowness of the South American continent, the climate is influenced by the Andes mountain chain along its western border and maritime influences from the sea. The major wind currents include the Pampero Winds, the Sudestada and the Zonda wind. All of these factors help to influence the regional climates temporally and spatially, generating the wide variety of climatic regions and microclimates present in the country.
==Mesopotamia==
Mesopotamia has a subtropical climate with no dry season.〔 Under the Köppen climate classification, it has a humid subtropical climate (''Cfa''). The main features of the climate are high temperatures and abundant rainfall throughout the year.〔 Rainfall is abundant year round since much of this region lies north of the subtropical high pressure belt, even in winter, meaning that it is exposed to moist easterly winds from the Atlantic ocean throughout the year. Because of this, water deficiencies and extended periods of drought are uncommon, and much of the region has a positive water balance.〔
