    The version posted earlier still had that problem were increased precipitations resulted in increased aridity. The new version does not but it has 25 thresholds instead of 3.
    Now I just need to find how to make this work without creating a bunch of complicated things.
    I'm not sure how good an idea it is to use the gradual threshold. Sure, the threshold will be more gradual, but is that necessarily a good thing? A lot of areas will become "more humid" as a result of this, since like 80% of the planet receives more than 2/3 of the total rainfall in summer. And I seem to recall we had the opposite problem of many such regions being classified as too humid to begin with?

    Personally, I'm ok with the standard criteria used with the Climate Classification, after all we're not seeking to create a new or updated version of Köppen, so I'm reluctant to change the criteria (especially since it makes generated maps difficult to compare to real ones).


    Also, in your latest temperature sheet, you shouldn't merge the lower right corner of Ca with the rest (because it has less than 18 °C annual mean, so Bk instead of Bh).
