The Köppen–Geiger climate classification made simpler (I hope so)

From what I understand, you are advocating a more refined mapping of influences, and then use them to adjust a general temperature rule based on latitude. Pretty much the same system as before, is this right?

As for Western Australia, I looked it up - and here's what I found: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeuwin_Current
I would say this return current is formed only in Australia because the continent doesn't block the incoming equatorial current from the Pacific, which, on top of it all, is pushed southwards by Indonesia/Borneo. West Australia is the only continental west coast without a cold current with upwelling and it is the only neighbouring a east-west through.

My logic and limited oceanography knowledge wouldn't let me predict this either, but it really makes sense (and I shall be updating my currents map accordingly )

Yes, It's probably very similar to the previous version but also different.

So I guess it make sense for Australia.

I'm a dense person, but even I can follow what your saying in step 5, so that's an achievement for both you and me.

Interesting, will you edit the currents step then? To reflect the new toughts, or is not necessary?

I didn't knew this expression... Glad to hear it's not too complicated but it's not over yet.
I don't understand, is there something wrong with the currents?

I'm almost done with the influence/temperature part. I just need to write it properly and provide some images for each steps.

Then, it will be the precipitation part, that I've already started but I got a couple of things to sort out. The model is not too complicated, for the moment.

With the currents I meant... well I'll be damned, I can't find the exact text that made me ask that question.

I would swear I read somewhere in one of your latest posts how the currents we got with the currents step weren't always the right color/general temperature, because other factors influenced them. But I can't find it so never mind.

And by the way, the climate in A Song Of Ice and Fire makes no sense at all indeed, "it's magic". I was a bit dissapointed when I researched that and found out.

EDIT: a-ha! Found it.

"Colors of the currents appear to be a poor indicator to determine the impact on temperature.

Polar currents are cold (including everything between the poles and 66°) , including currents flowing toward the equator if they have been mixed with polar waters.
Equatorial currents are hot, including those flowing toward the poles from the equator.
Mid latitudes currents are mild, including those flowing toward the poles and the equator. The Gulf stream is an exception : it hasn't cooled enough to be considered hot"
