adding shadows on something where there are a lot of colors, especially similar colors, makes this such a mess. not beautiful

another case of colors that make no fucking sense in relation to what they represent.

The lack of distinction between mid Texas and East Texas / Louisiana doesn’t seem right.

Unfortunately I feel like this combination of land relief and climate data doesn’t work super well
longjumpingtote on
This needs to be redone without the 3D relief. And the colors could use luminance more, plus it doesn’t work for even the mildest color-blindness (may nor be any way around that). Anyway, the right side sort of works. The left doesn’t.

I think if you sectioned it off (north east, south west, etc) and then only put the colors that were present in the smaller map, it would be a bit more useful. Right now too many colors and too close in shades to determine what’s what.

Could be beautiful if interactive and we could click one or more of the zones on at a time (unselected ones remain white) but I just cannot tell what is what when they are all shown.

Why are cold and tropical areas using the same color scheme?
Mtfdurian on
It’s getting very notable that shift of climate zones. Tens to hundreds of km’s of shifting zones, to the north of (hot/warm) temperate climates while the arid climates are heading east, and the tropical Florida bubble is growing too.

I would like a word about the nondtu season in Texas. Most of my life there’s been a drought from July until September

Am I seeing the PNW classified as having a “dry summer?”

What is New England? Cold, no dry season, warm summer?

This half assed zoomed in wiki pic is better than the OP with elevation just thrown in as black.
Maine is either a frozen tundra, or a tropical rainforest. I’m not sure which.

Pretty map that is not very helpful. My eyes hurt.

Why is the line between “cold, no dry season, hot summer”, and “temperate, no dry season, hot summer” so straight? Is it the definition of “cold”? Did someone say that below approximately 39°N it doesn’t get cold?

This is a nice render but a bad map.

The rocky Mountains are a tropical rainforest?

I’m sorry but most of Texas and Boston being the same climate doesn’t seem right.

I didn’t know there was so much tropical savannah in Minnesota. That must be where Tropicannah gets their oranges.

The shadows and the two different categories that are both blue make this impossible to read.

Kansas City and St Louis are not temperate, they experience extremes on both ends.

Can’t be right. I’ve been reliably informed that [INSERT YOUR HOMETOWN HERE] can have all four seasons in one afternoon! If you don’t like the weather, just wait 10 minutes!

I live in Texas. Most of Texas being shown as “no dry season” is crazy work.

This can’t hurt me, I’m color blind

I wonder what happens here

Wait there are places in Arkansas/Oklahoma with cool summers?
Where can I find this map which will also ill use Mexico and Canada?
I can assure you Upstate New York has never heard of a dry winter before
