Steppe (temperature continental) climate is not experienced in which one of the following places?

The Steppe climate, also known as the temperate continental or semi-arid climate (BS), is characterized by continentality and moderate rainfall [2]. Saskatchewan (Canada) represents the classic mid-latitude steppe (BSk) of the Northern Hemisphere [4]. In the Southern Hemisphere, Pretoria (South Africa) is explicitly identified as having a steppe-type climate influenced by maritime factors [3]. Buenos Aires (Argentina) is located in the Pampas, which is the South American equivalent of the temperate grasslands/steppes [5]. In contrast, Perth, Western Australia, experiences a Mediterranean climate (Cs), characterized by hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters [4]. While steppes are semi-arid, Perth's distinct seasonal rainfall pattern and coastal location in southwestern Australia align it with Mediterranean classifications rather than the continental steppe regime.
