This climate type is usually found in the outskirts of true deserts in low-latitude, [[semiarid]] regions. It has a cooler, wetter winter resulting from the higher latitude and mid-latitude frontal cyclone activity. Annual precipitation totals are greater than in tropical and subtropical desert climates. Yearly variations in amount are not as extreme as in the true deserts but are nevertheless large. The [[Köppen Climate Classification]] subtype for this climate is "[[BSk]]". (Tropical and Subtropical Steppe Climate).
