It is the approximate southern border of the horse latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, meaning that much of the land area touching the 30th parallel is arid or semi-arid. If there is a source of wind from a body of water the area would more likely be humid subtropical.
At this latitude the sun is visible for 14 hours, 5 minutes during the summer solstice and 10 hours, 13 minutes during the winter solstice, and the nighttime duration lasts 9 hours, 55 minutes during the summer solstice and 13 hours, 47 minutes during the winter solstice.[1] On 21 June, the maximum altitude of the sun is 83.44 degrees and 36.56 degrees on 21 December.[citation needed]
At this latitude:
One degree of longitude = 96.49 km or 59.95 mi
One minute of longitude = 1.61 km or 1.00 mi
One second of longitude = 26.80 m or 87.93 ft
