A semi-arid climate, semi-desert climate, or steppe climate is a dry climate sub-type. It is located on regions that receive precipitation below potential evapotranspiration, but not as low as a desert climate. There are different kinds of semi-arid climates, depending on variables such as temperature, and they give rise to different biomes.
The northern half of the Great Plains (Nebraska northward), Midwest, Great Lakes, and New England states have a variety of humid continental climates, and the western plains have a semi-arid climate. Here there are four distinct seasons, with warm to hot summers, and cold and often-snowy winters.
A tropical savanna is a grassland biome located in semi-arid to semi-humid climate regions of subtropical and tropical latitudes, with average temperatures remaining at or above 18 °C (64 °F) all year round, and rainfall between 750 millimetres (30 in) and 1,270 millimetres (50 in) a year.

Nov 13, 2017 · Hot semi-arid climates characterize the tropics and sub-tropics located in the 20s and 30s latitudes. They are often located near the tropical savanna climate or on the fringe of sub-tropical desert climate.

Apr 30, 2018 · Semi-arid climates typically receive up to twice the amount of rain than desert regions do -- up to 20 inches per year. Semi-arid climates break down into two distinct classifications: hot and cold. Semi-arid climates are also known as steppe climates.

Hot semi-arid climates (type "BSh") tend to be located in the 20s and 30s latitudes of the tropics and subtropics, typically in proximity to regions with a tropical savanna or a humid subtropical climate.
Semi-arid climates, for regions where annual precipitation is not strongly seasonal, are defined by equations linking mean annual values of precipitation, R, in mm, and temperature, T, in degrees C. The upper limit for semi-arid climates, in terms of mean annual precipitation given a specific value of mean annual temperature, is defined by.
