I introduce the Giorian Climate Classification System. This system will create a three letter category for all climates. So, here is how it works
First letter divides climates by their Annual mean temp. It goes from A to G.
A = 25C+ B = 20 to 25C C = 15 to 20C D = 10 to 15C E = 5 to 10C F = 0 to 5C G = subzero Second letter divides climates by Annual temp range (measured by annual means). Goes from a to g.
a = less than 5C annual temperature range b = 5C to 10C annual range c = 10C to 15C d = 15 to 20C e = 20 to 30C f = 30 to 40C g = greater than 40C annual range
Third letter is Annual Precipitation.
Z = Less than 250mm annual precipitation Y = 250 to 500 mm X = 500 to 750 mm W = 750 to 1250 mm V = 1250 to 2000 mm U = 2000 mm+
Finally, climates with a summer peak in precipitation get a "+" at the end. While those with a winter peak in precipitation get a "-". Climates with stable precipitation like NYC don't get anything at the end

Some examples of the Giorian system:
New York City = DeV Washington DC = CeW Bunghole = EeW (lol, I swear this wasn't intentional) Umea = FeX Seoul = DeV+ Rome = CdW- London = DcX Paris = DdX Dubai = AdZ- Bangkok = AbV+ Manaus = AaV- Yakutsk = GgZ+ Perth = CcX- Melbourne = CcX Buenos Aires = CcW Miami = AbV+

Hypothetically, if climates adjacent to the Antarctic Sea receive only 1/3rd amount of precipitation = GaY The climate is classified as polar, and the weather is highly variable and harsh; making a GaY in Giorian climate classification.

Isn't there already a thread for this ?

Simple yet pretty effective. Good job Gior!

I guess it matches the description well

i'm not a fan of heat, but something about the stickiness of subtropical climates enchants me...

I like it a lot! One thing I'd suggest is turning the annual precipitation category into some sort of aridity index
