Köppen Climate Zones - TSV
The Köppen climate classification is a system developed by German geographer and climatologist Wladimir Köppen in the early 1900s. Based on two climate elements—temperature and precipitation—it classifies the world into five major climate zones (A through E) with emphasis on correlation with vegetation. Divided into tropical, dry, temperate, continental (subarctic), and polar zones, it is further subdivided into specific climate types and is widely used in agriculture, ecology, and climate research.

A tropical-zone Tropical Zone Climate zone where the coldest month averages 18°C or higher. Coldest month average temperature ≥ 18°C 18
B dry-zone Dry Zone Climate zone where annual precipitation falls below the dry limit. Annual precipitation < dry limit
C temperate-zone Temperate Zone Climate zone where the coldest month averages between -3°C and 18°C. -3°C ≤ coldest month average < 18°C -3 18
D continental-zone Continental Zone (Subarctic) Climate zone where the coldest month averages below -3°C and the warmest month averages 10°C or higher. Coldest month average < -3°C, warmest month average ≥ 10°C -3 10
E polar-zone Polar Zone Climate zone where the warmest month averages below 10°C. Warmest month average < 10°C 10
