I think the poster is referring to the literal Koppen description of Humid Subtropical (which is a poor descriptor I think). In the non coastal eastern/central US that means absolutely
brutalizing summers to bring up the yearly temp average with the cool winters. I'm talking about back to back days of over 100 F(37-38 C).
You end up with an average temperature that is deceptive and Koppen called it "sub-tropical," which is BS. His ideas about climate fall apart in North America. ...btw that cfa outlier dot over the top/middle is St. Louis so I can speak from experience on the summer heat.
