South Asia has a total area of 5.2 million sq.km (2 million sq.mi), which is 10% of the Asian continent. [30] The population of South Asia is estimated to be 2.04 billion [8] or about one-fourth of the world's population, making it both the most populous and the most densely populated geographical region in the world.

A humid subtropical climate is a temperate climate type characterized by long and hot summers, and cool to mild winters. These climates normally lie on the southeast side of all continents (except Antarctica), generally between latitudes 25° and 40° and are located poleward from adjacent tropical climates, and equatorward from either humid continental (in North America and Asia) or oceanic ...
