    Ok so there has been a very long hiatus on this map but don't worry, it's not dead! I've just been bogged down with so much other stuff it's hard to work on any worldbuilding stuff. I've tried to take your suggestions into account, Jean-Abdel, and I've also used the Climate Cookbook to help me. Here are the two revised maps (for clarification, the colors for low and high pressures have been switched from the original map to match those used in the Climate Cookbook: green represents high pressure zones and yellow shows low pressure zones):

    Jean-Abdel, I also had a couple questions regarding your previous post:

    I'm sort of confused about the huge high on the large continent in July - don't continents in summer generally have lower pressure zones?

    The small low on the northern continent in July is fine, and you should add a low above the smaller southern continent, which is approximately as big as Africa so still very big (enough for a slight monsoon I think).
    By above the smaller southern continent do you mean on it (above as in in the atmosphere above it) or physically above it on the map (as in on the ocean). Sorry for the confusion, I just wanna make sure I'm understanding you.

    Thanks again for the critique and help! Feel free to critique my newest maps as well.

    For July swap north and south applying the same rules. Your maps are ok, you just need to deal with the order of importance I gave earlier, and inner seas are usually neutral so don't need any dot on them.

    Jean-Abdel - Thank you so much for helping me with all this. I'm personally much more interested in biology and anthropology/linguistics when worldbuilding, so it's really nice that you're helping me with this. Also wow for me pressure maps are hard to wrap my head around so hopefully I can actually create one that's decent. Also sorry for all the style changes, red is high and blue is low. Here are my latest (and probably flawed) attempts:

    Again thanks a lot for helping me!
