Description. 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. These climates tend to have hot, sometimes extremely hot, summers and warm to cool winters, with some to minimal precipitation.
There are two dry climate types: arid and semiarid. Most arid climates receive 10 to 30 centimeters (four to 12 inches) of rain each year, and semiarid climates receive enough to support extensive grasslands. Temperatures in both arid and semiarid climates show large daily and seasonal variations. The hottest spots in the world are in arid ...
Places with more than three months of average daily temperatures above 10 °C (50 °F) and a coldest month temperature below −3 °C (27 °F) and which do not meet the criteria for an arid or semi-arid climate, are classified as continental. Most climates in this zone are found from 35 latitude to 55 latitude, mostly in the northern hemisphere.
West of 100°W, much of the U.S. has a cold semi-arid climate in the interior upper western states (Idaho to the Dakotas), to warm to hot desert and semi-arid climates in the southwestern U.S. East of 100°W, the climate is humid continental in northern areas (locations roughly above 40°N, Northern Plains, Midwest, Great Lakes, New England ...
3.3 Defining Semi-Arid Regions 3.3.1 Moisture Balance Over the Year as a Whole For definition of semi-arid zones on a regional basis, it is necessary to stipulate lower limits of moisture adequacy which delimit the semi-arid zone from the arid, and upper limits of moisture adequacy that delimit the semi-arid zone
Thessaloniki does not have a BSk climate going by the most widely accepted isotherm, 0° C. From the data found on it's page the mean temperature in the coldest month, January, is 5° C. From my calculations, Thessaloniki does however have a BSh type climate and may legitimately placed on the list of cities with hot semi-arid climates.
