 Florida has a dry climate confirmed That's more laughable for eastern China, Taiwan, and southern Japan; which are not dry climates. Although what they are trying to show are the horse latitudes/Hadley cell areas, and most of those areas are dry climates. Hadley cell only applies to the west side of continents, as the eastern side at the same latitudes are generally wet/humid climates |

Hadley cells are a mechanism independent of continent placement.  |

It has forests, actually.
Not really. It has some bushes in one valley.

Excellent video explaining how Hadley Cells affect the world’s climate, and why east coast’s don’t typically have deserts: 🖕🏿Mörön🖕🏿 firebird1988 |

Saw this Evapotranspiration map of California in the library. Sorry for bad quality:   |

European climate map from an old 1963 Estonian school textbook, for 12-13 year old school students - so not very detailed, as you understand. Actually, it's a Russian school textbook translated into Estonian, it was used all over the USSR, I guess.  I translated the names of the climate zones: 1 - cold climate 2- temperate maritime climate 3 - transition zone between maritime climate and continental climate 4- high mountain climate 5 - moderate continental climate 6- Mediterranean climate |

Places with an annual mean within 0.5c of the global average To answer the question about whether I live in such a region, yep   |

Benfxmth looks like Greensboro is the absolute champion of North Carolinian freezing rain
Makes sense, the area just east of the Appalachians are prone to inversions during CAD setups in midwinter. Similar foothill areas going north into VA, MD, PA, NY see relatively high amounts of freezing rain too.

Found a map that shows how hot or cold a place is for their latitude. Only problem is that mountains would skew the results and make a sea level place at that latitude seem warmer. For example, the southeast US is red probably due to the Tibetan plateau.  |

For example, the southeast US is red probably due to the Tibetan plateau. A more accurate measurement would Average temperature for latitude and altitude. This would make south-eastern US white to very light red. |

For example, the southeast US is red probably due to the Tibetan plateau. Everywhere in the Korean Peninsula should be blue if counting only below 1,000m ASL. |

Good site which @coolman18 shared that allows you to easily view climate classification globally today, as well as in the past and for future projections.
