[edit] Af

How come the Af climate is called "Tropical" in the template, while Köppen climate classification calls Af "Tropical rain forest climate" and plain "A" climates "tropical"? Pfly 06:15, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Monsoon

Changed Monsoon (which is a type of winds) to Monsoon climate, page TBA. Compare to Tropics and Tropical climate --Yuriy Lapitskiy 19:44, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Continental Mediterranean climate

Who added this label, not used by Köppen and put it under class D? Class D means that the average temperature of the coldest month is below -3 °C: no real Mediterranean area has these values, unless you consider Mediterranan also the Caspian region like Rivas-Martínez but in this case it would be considered BS (semi-arid climate) rather than Ds. A map showing Ds areas in the world: as you can see, they do not match with Continental Mediterranean climate ones--Carnby (talk) 10:10, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
