Climate Zone Classifier
Every place on Earth has a rhythm of warmth and rain across the year. Move the sliders to sculpt that pattern into a climograph, and the lab sorts it into a Köppen climate code — then lights up the latitude band where climates like it live. Try dragging up and down on the world map to sample latitudes directly.

What to try
- Keep the rainfall high but shrink the seasonal range toward zero — what makes a place tropical rather than temperate?
- Turn the rainfall down low. How dry must a warm place get before it flips to an arid B climate, and does that threshold change with temperature?
- Load Moscow, then Barrow. What single reading separates a continental winter from a truly polar one?
- Take London's climate and slide the wettest month from autumn into July — can dry summers alone create a Mediterranean code?
- Drag the map marker from the equator to the pole. Why does the seasonal temperature range grow as you move away from the tropics?
