    Hey, I got some numbers!

    Replacing this :

    • If less than 30% of annual precipitation occurs in the summer : Annual precipitation (mm) < 20 × average annual temperature (°C)
    • If more than 70 % of annual precipitation occurs in the summer: Annual precipitation (mm) < 20 × average annual temperature + 280
    • Else : Annual precipitation (mm) < 20 × average annual temperature + 140
    o If annual precipitation is < 50 % of the threshold = BW: desert climate
    o If annual precipitation is between 50 and 100 % = BS: steppe climate

    by this:

    if the annual precipitation (in centimetres)

    are Greater than R= humid
    are Smaller than R but greater than R/2= semi-arid
    are Smaller than R/2= arid

    R=2 x T if rainfall occurs mainly in the cold season (s=summer dry)
    R=2 x T + 14 if rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year (f)
    R=2 x T + 28 if rainfall occurs mainly in the hot season. (w= winter dry)
    (T= mean annual temperature)
