From England straight to Louisiana is quite a leap
You're not kidding. Arriving from the UK into Sydney airport - the heat was unbelievable, but when I was in Melbourne, there was a question of 'wait? is this weather ... shit?'
Not necessarily. look at what Spain has in an area a bit smaller than Texas.
finland ☝️
The ACT does get a bit cold in winter, but I feel like it's closer to England than Finland (if England was drier and actually got hot in summer anyway). We are after all talking minimums of -5 or -6 for the coldest days in winter and snow normally only settling on the tops of the nearby mountain range (and temporarily at that).
Would have been far better to get the name of the climate instead of some american region, or an ultra broad category like “north india”, which has the himalyas, plains, jungle, and much in between
South Texas is too vague. We talking coastal humidity, searing temperatures, flooding rains, drought, or all of the above?
Same as alaska, It ranges from full on permafrost, to temperate climate.
As an American who understands other countries climates, I understood and appreciated this map perfectly fine, and because I understand the general climates of Australia I can understand what is meant by North India...and it's not the himilayas
As someone who lived a large part of my life in australia, so can I. But the point is not if I or you can understand it, but if the general audience can, if it is portrayed in both an accurate and rigorous way.
Unfortunately, it isn’t.
Also elevations would be helpful to understand the map.
Is this accurate? How can it be so varied even on similar latitudes?
I'd imagine elevation and proximity to the coast affect things a bit. I've seen a similar one for the US that was also quite varied.
Check out the vegetation zones of Washington State. Oceans and mountain ranges have a massive effect on climate zones.
Downright idiotic to use "Northern India" as a known climate. During COVID the air-pollution cleared up enough to photograph the foothills of the Himalayas from New Delhi.
Can you imagine HOW much Indians have screwed up the entire climate of India ?
It is not even funny the deaths caused due to man-made pollution in India.
And Indians are the majority causing the man-made pollution not "foreign" entities.
Huh? Regardless of how different the climates are due to climate change you can still make measurements and then compare them with other measurements. Example "the climate in northern India over 2024 was measured in terms of temperature, pressure and humidity ranges. We found parts of northeast Australia to have significant overlap with their temperature, pressure and humidity ranges over the same period of time." Literally has nothing to do with how climate has changed it's just comparing two climates with each other.
Never set foot in AU.
I was under the impression that Tasmania doesn't get that cold.
Also, apparently some would rather describe Perth as Mediterranean-SouthAfrican, rather than Mediterranean-Californian 😉They're in spring right now, and Tazmania is below freezing and snowing in some areas literally this very moment. So I guess it does. It is VERY far south, almost as far south as the tip of Argentina.
Perth climate is definitely California 2: West coast boogaloo.
No ‘South Wales’? For shame
How would this help anyone? Like, noone just knows what those climates feel like, at all.
I live in Melbourne and used to live in perth and some other rural parts of WA. I thought it was interesting to think of the other regions in terms of the climates I already have experiences with
This is a lovely map. Thank you op
E: is los Angeles meant to be los Vegas?
