Interactive maps: Visually explore global maps of past, present and future climate zones according to the most commonly used Köppen-Geiger climate classification (explained ). Zoom in, pan out, and explore details down to 1 km. Transitions by country: Select a country to see a summary of past or future changes in a so-called Sankey diagram.
The Köppen climate classification divides climates into five main climate groups, with each group being divided based on patterns of seasonal precipitation and temperature. The five main groups are A (tropical), B (arid), C (temperate), D (continental), and E (polar).
An Interactive Köppen–Geiger Climate Map of the entire world. Köppen–Geiger Climate Classification. Developed with ️ by Ryan Jerue.
This map displays the 22 Köppen climate regions that cover the United States and Puerto Rico. Click on the map to get more information about each unique region. The button in the lower right will display a map legend with the classifications.
Koppen climate classification, widely used vegetation-based empirical climate-classification system developed by German botanist-climatologist Wladimir Koppen. He devised formulas that would define climatic boundaries corresponding to mapped vegetation zones (biomes).
On this web site we provide global data, world maps and computer animations of our updated Köppen-Geiger climate classification published by Kottek et al. (2006), Rubel and Kottek (2010) and Rubel et al. (2017).
Here, we present a new and improved Köppen-Geiger climate classification map for the present (1980–2016) with an unprecedented 0.0083° resolution (approximately 1 km at the equator),...
The map below is a visualization of the world's Koppen-Geiger climate zones. If you click on the map, you will also be able to see the attribute of the clicked point, or access the legend on the bottom left.
The system divides the world into five climate zones based on criteria, usually temperature, which allows for different vegetation growth. Köppen’s map used different colors and shades to represent the different climate zones of the world.
These maps show the Köppen climate classification for the long-term average climate (1901–2010). The classification is based on a global observation-based dataset by Kenji Matsuura and Cort J. Willmott, which combines data from several sources including GHCN2 interpolated onto a 0.5° longitude × 0.5° latitude grid.
