Köppen climate classification

Latest comment: 2 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Is there a reason for the two contradictory Köppen climate maps in the Geography and Climate subsections? I can’t readily find one. 68.168.201.94 (talk) 22:49, 13 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

I just went to the talk page to say that. When I have time I will try to look more into it and see

why there are two of them

and (if we do not need two)

find which one we should keep.

Do you think that we should keep the image in both areas or only keep it in one of them? (I assume the one in the climate section) AEric Baker (talk) 18:25, 7 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
