Capitalise?

Should I capitalise 'southern' or not, when talking about the southern area of Brooklyn (not an actual place name by itself)?

That is, is it correct to write 'it is humid in southern Brooklyn', or 'it is humid in Southern Brooklyn'?
  

Top answer

It is humid in southern Brooklyn. He was born in Southern Rhodesia. Capitalize if it is part of the name of the area.

  • It is humid in southern Brooklyn.
  • He was born in Southern Rhodesia.
  • Capitalize if it is part of the name of the area.
