The climate map of the Earth if it were spinning the other way. Quite a different climatic arrangement compared to the Earth we have now. What are your thoughts on this? Would your place have a better or worse climate than it has now?
Also sorry for the image quality, this is the best I could do.

Here's a bigger image I'm not sure I agree with this area being Dsb but ok. I wouldn't mind it.  |

I would become a Dfb climate, better winters but worse summers IMO. SE is a desert, New York is a Mediterranean paradise- Metsfan257 is happy England is subarctic as it should be. |

We will be a hot Med climate. Just as expected.
What is the north coast NSW, monsoon subtropical? I can't tell

Southwestern Africa/south America at that latitude are still either desert or semi arid (even extreme arid in southwestern south America). 🤔 |

I would be a Csa climate, and Australia looks much better in this scenario with less desert!
Damn, the Atacama and Namib Deserts become coastal rainforests like Eastern Madagascar (which is now the Namib).
Also, its the Saharan and Arabian Savannahs (with a giga Lake Chad); and I don't think the Chinese can sustain 1.4 billion now.
Lastly, that's quiet alot of Dsx climates, and no more Dxd climates.

I not sure, perhaps because the Great Dividing Range is not as tall as the Drakensburg, Great Escarpment nor the Andes

Here's a similar albeit a bit older map that has been made for the retrograde Earth climate, looks like that part of Australia would be a semi-arid climate

I'd be on the Dsa/Dfa cusp, depending on which of these maps you go with. Very interesting stuff. The Australian Outback and current Sahara and Sahel would likely be very fertile and densely populated, and have some delicious climates too.  |
