I created these two fictional climates on a fictional Earth-like planet where the temperature gradient between the equator and the poles is larger. On this Earth, the average annual temperature at the equator is ~35°C, while the average annual temperature at the South Pole is around -70°C. I wanted to make the tropics and polar zones just hot/cold enough to be beyond the threshold of long-term human survival. These climates are definitely hot enough to prevent pre-industrial human settlement.
It's also worth pointing out that both climates are located on a very large continent that experiences Pangaea-esque monsoons from the tropics to the subpolar (austral) zone.
Fictional Climate #1: "Desert Hell" (latitude 23° S, within 200 m sea level)
Would be classified as a very dry Hot Semi-arid cliamte (BSh) under Köppen, but is a wet Tropical Desert (extreme AR.A) climate under my system
Fictional Climate #2: "Savannah Hell" (latitude 17° S, within 200 m of sea level)
Would be classified as a drier Tropical Monsoon climate (Am) under Köppen, but is a wet Tropical Steppe (extreme AZ.A) climate under my system
