Would have been far better to get the name of the climate instead of some american region, or an ultra broad category like “north india”, which has the himalyas, plains, jungle, and much in between

You’d be wanting this shitty map. Congrats now you know Victoria is temperate, what it doesn’t tell you is that we’re often wet and miserable like in England or that you’ll get snow in Tassie.

I much rather OPs map.

South Texas is too vague. We talking coastal humidity, searing temperatures, flooding rains, drought, or all of the above?

Same as alaska, It ranges from full on permafrost, to temperate climate.

As an American who understands other countries climates, I understood and appreciated this map perfectly fine, and because I understand the general climates of Australia I can understand what is meant by North India...and it's not the himilayas

As someone who lived a large part of my life in australia, so can I. But the point is not if I or you can understand it, but if the general audience can, if it is portrayed in both an accurate and rigorous way.

Unfortunately, it isn’t.

Also elevations would be helpful to understand the map.
