The forum for weather or climate discussion should be "All Things Gardening".

Too bad we don't have a "Regional Forum" for "International" or "Multiple Continents". I wonder if there would be enough interest in that to keep it busy? Mega-climate discussions might fit well there.
Alternatively, if there were enough interest in specific zones, there COULD be "regional" forums for certain Koppen Zones or groups of zones:
KOPPEN GROUP A: Tropical climates
KOPPEN GROUP B: Dry (arid and semiarid) climates
(I would suggest "cold" climates as a c ategory, but Koppen seems to limit those to "polar cap" and "tundra". Everyone who gardens on the South Pole, raise your hands!)

But I've sometimes seen forums created in other websites that served an initial burst of interest, then "went dead". I think it is better to have a few busy forums than many dead ones!
Perhaps it WOULD be better to try a few threads in "All Things Gardening", and see whether they became so busy that they needed their own forums.
I admit that my own interest was satisfied once I found my own "official" classification in a system more widely-recognized than the Sunset Zones.
But now I'm getting curious about Trewartha's revisions of Koppen's classification! Splitters and nit-pickers delight in debating "on the other hand ...".

I think the most practical climate classification scheme is whatever is
most widely recognized!
