This is a lovely map. Thank you op

E: is los Angeles meant to be los Vegas?

Grew up in that red zone. Glad I did, never going back

Idk where you're getting those numbers from nor do I have the data this map was made from but that part of Australia is arid, it can easily get up to 40 in summer and there are definitely parts of it that get down to -5 in winter

What do you mean, they would obviously be measuring in terms of ranges of climates not specific climates and if you consider the size of the shaded regions it makes total sense that the variety of climates experienced in the region is similar to the variety of climates in la/Nevada. It would be unhelpful for a map of this size to have 1000 different regions all hyper specific. Large regions of Australia compared to large regions of other places

Okay? So the areas shaded experience a range of climates shared with Nevada and LA. Seems pretty reasonable considering the wide range of climates the map is representing. It would be unhelpful to have 1000 different shaded regions relating to 1000 different places. Also considering the size of the shaded area it's not exactly surprising that the climate range would be on that scale

Huh? Regardless of how different the climates are due to climate change you can still make measurements and then compare them with other measurements. Example "the climate in northern India over 2024 was measured in terms of temperature, pressure and humidity ranges. We found parts of northeast Australia to have significant overlap with their temperature, pressure and humidity ranges over the same period of time." Literally has nothing to do with how climate has changed it's just comparing two climates with each other.

I live in Melbourne and used to live in perth and some other rural parts of WA. I thought it was interesting to think of the other regions in terms of the climates I already have experiences with

So true?

I have long since given up on an ideal world where there are universally used standard units. Now I embrace unit chaos. I want my equations to contain fucked up units that are harder to decipher than just doing the calc again. It's how I artistically express myself.

Honestly I find that the opposite of grim, I wish more problems were solved in a cold and calculated way.
