My problem with those Koppen maps is the color scheme: most of the zones seem to be very similar shades of yellowy-greenish-blue.

Probably there are ways to find text lists of areas that match any given Koppen Zone, or searchable articles .


There is one site that lists every county in the USA, plus every Koppen Zone to be found in that county.

I'm in Koppen Zone Csb. "Mediterranean" climate - pretty mild temperatures and a dry summer.

Here is one site where I used to be able to download detailed maps, but our IT department really enjoys forbidding things:

Google Images lists some continental maps:

This site DOES list multiple continental maps, and talks about uploading things into your copy of Goggle earth ... sound intersting.

Wiikipedia is usually helpful, and they have the best article I've seen, WITH examples, for example these Csa and Csb cities:

Beirut, Lebanon (Csa)
Los Angeles, United States (Csa)
Khorramabad, Iran (Csa)
Rome, Italy (Csa)
Seville, Spain (Csa)

Santiago, Chile (Csb)
Essaouira, Morocco (Csb)
Porto, Portugal (Csb)
San Francisco, United States (Csb)
Cape Town, South Africa (Csb)
