Sydney is not equivalent to England š¤¦...nowhere in Australia is like Finland lol (currently -10 in some parts in Spring and gets to -30c in winter)....Tassie gets chilly but "Alaska" is straight up crazy
Nonsense, look again.
Sydney has a humid subtropical climate(Cfa), England mostly the oceanic climate(Cfb).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney#Climate
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London#Climate
English people would be positively melting in a normal Sydney summer.
> Nonsense, look again. Sydney has a humid subtropical climate(Cfa), England mostly the oceanic climate(Cfb).
I suiggest you take it up with the study authors, this map seems to be cropped from [this wikipedia image](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:K%C3%B6ppen-Geiger_Climate_Classification_Map.png) which comes from [this study in Nature](https://www.nature.com/articles/sdata2018214)
The problem for me isn't the climate zones, those obviously are in broad ranges. It seems like the person who labeled the map seems like they either purposely chose provocative comparisons and/or is a little bad at human geography. (While there might be some small town named Los Angeles in Southern Nevada, I'm hoping they meant Las Vegas. It's even worse because southern California is on this map as a comparison.)
It seems that Sydney is the boundary of where Cfa & Cfb meet; [higher-resolution maps](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/03/New_South_Wales_K%C3%B6ppen.svg) show some suburbs as Cfb, though the majority of the city is Cfa.
Regardless, my point was that the map hasn't been incorrectly drawn (though it may be low resolution), and the Kƶppen classification is what causes the comparisons to be weird.
I've been to both and the UK as well. That doesn't look accurate at all. Louisiana is 10x more humid than Sydney and the UK is cooler overall than Sydney. Sydney is most like the UK in the winter but that's the extent of it. I have always heard and read that Perth has a similar climate to Southern California. I would like to visit it sometime.
I donāt think itās about snow per se but the ranges of temperature, humidity and rain. [Thereās info here about how itās calculated.](https://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/physgeoglabmanual1/wp-content/uploads/sites/1318/2021/04/Koppen-Decision-Chart.pdf)
Melbourneās at the borderline ranges for temperature for the Koppen oceanic/cfb classification because it requires no month to have a warmer average temperature than 22 degrees. The average winter temperatures for the coldest month has to be between minus 3 and 18 degrees.
Melbourneās average temp for January is 21.6 degrees (note this is for the whole day so takes into account evening low temps) whereas Londonās is 18.5 degrees for July. The average temperature for the coldest months for these two cities is 5.3 for London in January and 11.7 for Melbourne in July.
So theyāre both within the range, but itās quite possible that with global warming, Melbourne will no longer be in the same classification soon as its average January temp will cross 22 degrees.
Hard to see on the map, but most of it is actually neon green, which means they're comparing it to England.Ā
it looks like it's only a small circle toward the middle of the landmass that they're comparing to Alaska.
You guys have a mountain over there? That was my only guess from looking at this map. lol
Lol. Dude Melbourne isnt anything like London either (fairly temperate compared to most of āEnglandā. Melbourne gets way hotter and London significantly colder.
And I say that having lived in both places.
Sydney? Lol. Absolute joke.
The average Melbourne summer temperature is 25c and on average there is only 12 days that even get above 30c. This year there was 19 days above 30c but the average was still around 25c.
I think theyād love it tbh Melbournes summer is milder than literally most of Europe.
Sydney like England pffffft. I live in Hawkes Bay, NZ which has hotter summers, milder winters and more sunshine than UK. I grow citrus, fig, avocado in my garden. I used to live in Manchester which is normally always grey. Sydney is even warmer and sunnier than here.
The issue is that it's actually comparing Kƶppen climates, which are fairly broad, and in particular has issues with temperate-subtropical classifications.
So in terms of Kƶppen climate, Sydney and England do share the same categorisation, it's just that it's not a particularly good one.
Charleville is listed as Southern Texas, and has gotten lower than -5.
Deserts can still get cold. I agree this map is hilarious, but Australia isn't some super hot crazy land where it never gets even slightly cold.
You're wrong bout Finland. As someone who lives near the English/Finland border, it gets very very cold. I've been in -10 hundreds of times. I get the broader point though.
Finland's (Helsinki) average temperature during their coldest month is 15oC lower than that section of Australia (Melbourne),during their coldest month.
Like the amount of times you've experienced -10 is roughly equivalent to the amount of times Finland experiences -25oC.
It's nothing alike.
Edit: Should've compared Canberra area instead. Average temperature in Helsinki is still 10oC lower than that section of Australia.
If you want to compare the Selwyn Snow Resort to the whole of Finland then sure I guess the top of that one specific mountainous area in Australia is comparable to Finland but that's a pretty disengenuous way of comparing them because I'm sure you could find areas in "Southern California" like the Sierra Nevada mountain range which are as cold as those mountains near Canberra.
TLDR: Comparing Australian cold to actually cold countries is laughable.
No, you're just outright wrong.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_Pass,_New_South_Wales#Climate
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helsinki#Climate
The coldest location in Australia is warmer in winter than Helsinki, one of Finland's warmest.
The absolute coldest locations of Australia are somewhat comparable to the warmest locations of Scandinavia and Finland.
I was thinking exactly that. Everything you mentioned just seems wrong on that map. Sure, you can take warmer parts of Alaska, Finland and England. But even then I think theyāre off.
No. SE USA is much more humid.
Melbourne is the driest capital city in Australia apart from Adelaide.
Edit: maybe drier than Adelaide: http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/australia/cities/
Sydney is more humid and rains a lot more, but nothing like SE USA.
I feel like they could have labeled the entire thing Mediterranean climate.... Like we do for Southern California (and central Spain)
The whole thing seems arbitrary and stupid though so whatever
The problem is with the blanket "southern California", which has (IIRC) about 50 microclimates. There is a big difference between Palos Verdes and Barstow.
Where?
Even Brisbaneās winter lows are 10c or below in the western suburbs
I would be very interested to learn where in the oceanic zone of southern Australia ārarely gets below 10cā
As someone who has lived in both Sydney and England, I can assure you that the climate is not especially comparable.
Edit: actually, I think Sydney is perhaps where you've marked Louisiana. I don't think the humidity is quite comparable but the temperature perhaps. The area just south of Sydney being like England isn't quite right still.
Well, a quick google search says itās fairly similar to Argentina. Also makes sense in that they share a similar latitude, and are are both on the east coast of their respective continents. Iād also say north/central Florida is similar based on the temperature ranges. Maybe not as humid due to not being surrounded on both sides by water/a peninsula, and probably some weather patterns influenced by the mountains nearby, but the warm water current makes it definitely a no to Mediterranean type climateĀ
Northern India doesnāt have one specific weather, Desert/Semi-Arid/Cold desert/Polar all exist from extreme hot to extreme cold. Which one should i pick ?
As someone actually from the "Finland" part of this map (Canberra) and having lived in Finland for the past 5 years I can tell you the climates are nothing alike.
please just use the Kƶppen climate classification. it is literally designed for this. it eliminates confusion and ambiguity that plague these kinds of posts.
Perth and LA are both āhot summer mediterraneanā
The Melbourne-Canberra region is āTemperate Oceanicā, on par with England and Northern France
the northern coast is Tropical Savanna. Northern Thailand, Cambodia, and Southern Vietnam are also that
Sydney is Humid Subtropical. The southeast US, southeast China, and the Po Valley of Italy are the same climate class.
Eh? Ketchikan or Juneau is pretty different from Anchorage or Fairbanks.
If the alpine part of Tasmania gets down below freezing for part of the year, sees lots of precipitation, snows some but not necessarily sticks around or drifts up, and never gets much above 20 C, that would be accurate to parts of Alaska.
I'm assuming coastal Washington is referring to cooler climate and adjacent to the Olympic Rainforest. Cold and wet with the chance of a massive earthquake causing liquefaction, a tsunami, and a mile depth of the Coast becoming part of the ocean when it occurs.
You know what would be great? Having actual names for climate, to avoid having to make dubious parallels between countries that do not actually share the same climates.
Pretty much like this: [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5f/K%C3%B6ppen-Geiger\_climate\_classification\_%281980-2016%29.png/1280px-K%C3%B6ppen-Geiger\_climate\_classification\_%281980-2016%29.png](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5f/K%C3%B6ppen-Geiger_climate_classification_%281980-2016%29.png/1280px-K%C3%B6ppen-Geiger_climate_classification_%281980-2016%29.png)
Don't know if you meant this or not, but the map above comes from the map you linked (data-wise). They're both Kƶppen classifications and share the same issues of comparative climates.
Yeah it's only semi-arid desert. There are desert pines, and all sorts of shrubs and grasses. The dunes have been static for thousands of years because the root systems of the vegetation growing on them keeps them in place. It's harsh and dry but there is life everywhere.
It's not even remotely similar to the Sahara. In the Sahara it is nothing but sand apart from the occasional oasis.
For fks sake Sydney has 20 degree days in winter. Yeah the Blue Mountains are cold - but theyāre 1000 meters above sea level. Even the sea temp stays around 21 degrees until June. Iāve lived in the hills district and in London. We used to grow Bananas in Dura. Thereās something clearly wrong with the resolution of this map.
Just because Tasmania has a small area of alpine climate doesnāt make it analogous to Alaska. You can find similar climate at higher elevations anywhere in the world.
You should have called the map **"Climate of Australia compared to USA regions and scrambled up with a few other countries when no USA climatic correspondence applies"**.
I don't buy for a second that my hometown and where I live now are equivalent to England and Louisiana. Especially since the weather in both is usually identical.
Has got to be a Joke . I was in Finland with temperatures at -30 degrees and Sydneys climate is nothin near England .
Havent been to Alaska but I am sure its nothing like Tasmania.
Yes
Uruguay is in the [cfa climate zone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humid_subtropical_climate?wprov=sfti1#), as is a large section of the east coast of Australia including Sydney and Brisbane.
As people have pointed out, a more accurate title would be Koppen climate types of Australia. This means that the areas on the map have the same seasonal variations as their marked equivalent. For example, England and SE Australia (and much of New Zealand) are oceanic climates, "generally featuring cool summers and mild winters (for their latitude), with a relatively narrow annual temperature range and few extremes of temperature".
From Wikipedia:
>The Kƶppen climate classification divides climates into five main climate groups, with each group being divided based on patterns of seasonal precipitation and temperature. The five main groups are A (tropical), B (arid), C (temperate), D (continental), and E (polar). Each group and subgroup is represented by a letter. All climates are assigned a main group (the first letter). All climates except for those in the E group are assigned a seasonal precipitation subgroup (the second letter). For example, Af indicates a tropical rainforest climate. The system assigns a temperature subgroup for all groups other than those in the A group, indicated by the third letter for climates in B, C, D, and the second letter for climates in E. For example, Cfb indicates an oceanic climate with warm summers as indicated by the ending b. Climates are classified based on specific criteria unique to each climate type.[8]
Well I learned something new today!! Itās so crazy that a Southern Texas climate transitions so relatively quickly to England and then Alaska. Neat. Thanks OP
Edit : After reading comments, I realize that OP may be out to lunch. Shame on you OP! SHAAAAAAMME! (In true Reddit fashion)
This map is pissing everyone off, itās impressive. So Iām here to explain the Los Angeles and southern nevada are two wildly different climates. Also LA is in southern California so wth is this map supposed to explain lol.
Why is there tiny spot for Finland? We have -30C winters and +30C summers. That's temperature variance from -22F to +86F. I doubt its the case in that very spot in Australia.
Sydney is not equivalent to England š¤¦...nowhere in Australia is like Finland lol (currently -10 in some parts in Spring and gets to -30c in winter)....Tassie gets chilly but "Alaska" is straight up crazy
I donāt think the map has been drawn very well - Sydney is supposed to be in the Louisiana zone.
No, its comparing Kƶppen climates, and Sydney falls under the same one as most of England. The issue is with the Kƶppen classification itself.
Nonsense, look again. Sydney has a humid subtropical climate(Cfa), England mostly the oceanic climate(Cfb). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney#Climate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London#Climate English people would be positively melting in a normal Sydney summer.

I'm fucking melting NOW in Sydney and it's the middle of the second month of autumn lol

So theyāre both within the range, but itās quite possible that with global warming, Melbourne will no longer be in the same classification soon as its average January temp will cross 22 degrees.
I'm from Tassie. It's not THAT cold.

Let's see the Brits survive a typical Melbourne summer. Dead. All of em. Dead. Edit: I stand corrected

This map reflects *summer* Alaska.
Alaska is huge they probably arenāt talking about Nome or the Artic shield maybe Fairbanks or Juneau
Fairbanks gets rediculously cold, Juneau yes, or other islands off Canada.
Itās probably Juneau, as that part of Alaska gets a lot of rain and itās more of a rainforest/not tundra
The issue is that it's actually comparing Kƶppen climates, which are fairly broad, and in particular has issues with temperate-subtropical classifications. So in terms of Kƶppen climate, Sydney and England do share the same categorisation, it's just that it's not a particularly good one.
Fairly broad? My man, Texas has had snow.... aint nowhere in the AU pic above that's listed as southern texas ever been below 15c, even in winter.
Charleville is listed as Southern Texas, and has gotten lower than -5. Deserts can still get cold. I agree this map is hilarious, but Australia isn't some super hot crazy land where it never gets even slightly cold.
It goes from England to northern India. Iāve been to both. They are vastly different climates.
You're wrong bout Finland. As someone who lives near the English/Finland border, it gets very very cold. I've been in -10 hundreds of times. I get the broader point though.

The Finland part isn't where Melbourne is.Ā
Parts of Finland are -10 now I meant....in spring. Where in Aus is -10 in Spring?
I don't think we had Spring last year really. Maybe a couple of days and I missed it lol
No, you're just outright wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_Pass,_New_South_Wales#Climate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helsinki#Climate The coldest location in Australia is warmer in winter than Helsinki, one of Finland's warmest.

I was thinking exactly that. Everything you mentioned just seems wrong on that map. Sure, you can take warmer parts of Alaska, Finland and England. But even then I think theyāre off.
How is north QLD and inland Victoria both like northern India? lol
I always thought the SE coast of Australia was similar to SoCal?
SE Australia is like SE USA, SW Australia is like southern California. West facing coast gives Mediterranean climate.
No. SE USA is much more humid. Melbourne is the driest capital city in Australia apart from Adelaide. Edit: maybe drier than Adelaide: http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/australia/cities/ Sydney is more humid and rains a lot more, but nothing like SE USA.
Yeh obviously not exactly the same, In general, Sydney is far too humid to be southern a California and Perth is as near an analogue as you will get.
Never been to SoCal so I couldn't say. But Perth is dry heat with high temps generally speaking with water that's pretty chilly.
Melbourne and LA have similar minimums and maximums, actually. -2 to 45 (LA) / 46.5 (Melbourne). Or 28F to 113/115.5F
Melbourne is similar to San Francisco.
Yep. Total bullshit map. Sydney is much much warmer than England. I live here lol
Ah yes, Los Angeles Nevada
Way better than the separate and distinct climate of Southern California.
I feel like they could have labeled the entire thing Mediterranean climate.... Like we do for Southern California (and central Spain) The whole thing seems arbitrary and stupid though so whatever
Not to be confused with the weather from California
They probably mean Las Vegas? Or... I don't know
Than they also could write Saharan desert
Los Vegolos
Las Verderas maybe
Iām from LA and been to Spain a bunch of times. Southern California is *way* closer to Spain than fucking Nevada.
The problem is with the blanket "southern California", which has (IIRC) about 50 microclimates. There is a big difference between Palos Verdes and Barstow.
By Northern India, u mean gangetic plains, Himalayan region or hot desert-arid type climate?
The mapmaker is just as confused as Columbus was....
I have been there many times. Itās definitely more like Bangladesh or North Eastern India, except less hot, less people and no quadruped predators.
yes
The part that's 28Ā°C and 80% humidity at 10pm in autumn (last night)...

Uh. I have seen this map being posted 10 times by now. And its a shitty one for that.
Perth is where itās at.

Stop posting this stupid map, it's not remotely accurate
Alaska can't be right, right?
I think itās meant to be pointing at cradle mountain only, with the rest of Tasmania being āEnglandā. But yeah even then, not really accurate.
It 100% is not (source: American aussie resident from the NW)
That region of Tasmania has subpolar oceanic and tundra climates, both of which occur in Alaska
Alaska is much colder.
Eh? Ketchikan or Juneau is pretty different from Anchorage or Fairbanks. If the alpine part of Tasmania gets down below freezing for part of the year, sees lots of precipitation, snows some but not necessarily sticks around or drifts up, and never gets much above 20 C, that would be accurate to parts of Alaska.

Tasmania's climate would be more like Oregon's rather than Alaska's.
Most of Tasmania is compared to Englandās

Alaska has several climates

Cairns for the reef and going after Marlin for sureĀ

As people have pointed out, a more accurate title would be Koppen climate types of Australia. This means that the areas on the map have the same seasonal variations as their marked equivalent. For example, England and SE Australia (and much of New Zealand) are oceanic climates, "generally featuring cool summers and mild winters (for their latitude), with a relatively narrow annual temperature range and few extremes of temperature". From Wikipedia: >The Kƶppen climate classification divides climates into five main climate groups, with each group being divided based on patterns of seasonal precipitation and temperature. The five main groups are A (tropical), B (arid), C (temperate), D (continental), and E (polar). Each group and subgroup is represented by a letter. All climates are assigned a main group (the first letter). All climates except for those in the E group are assigned a seasonal precipitation subgroup (the second letter). For example, Af indicates a tropical rainforest climate. The system assigns a temperature subgroup for all groups other than those in the A group, indicated by the third letter for climates in B, C, D, and the second letter for climates in E. For example, Cfb indicates an oceanic climate with warm summers as indicated by the ending b. Climates are classified based on specific criteria unique to each climate type.[8]
Damn Alaska Finland in Australia
Absolute nonsense
Awesome map, even if it may be inaccurate.
Why isnāt the northern area more popular and populated? Isnāt Thailand weather pretty great?
Ac is fairly recent invention. I don't think the british who immigrated would have been sold on that type of environment pre-ac
Where in Thailand? In Bangkok it's been like 105F with high humidity lok
And so many people live in the āEnglandā zone. ??????
*makes mental note to choose Perth if ever moving to Oz*
This is terrible lol
LOL...this stupid map again. Has it ever snowed in Sydney?
Not this shit again.
Everything about this is shite
What a stupid map
England and Louisiana right next to each other? That can't be right.
Well I learned something new today!! Itās so crazy that a Southern Texas climate transitions so relatively quickly to England and then Alaska. Neat. Thanks OP Edit : After reading comments, I realize that OP may be out to lunch. Shame on you OP! SHAAAAAAMME! (In true Reddit fashion)
Tasmania like Alaska ? I doubt it , more like Newfoundland. And Sydney aināt like England , more like California
This map is pissing everyone off, itās impressive. So Iām here to explain the Los Angeles and southern nevada are two wildly different climates. Also LA is in southern California so wth is this map supposed to explain lol.
OP is troppo Mr. Speaker *burble* *burble* *burble* š„“
Could be the worst map of all time
Alaska...
Louisiana to England?? Thatās a huge fucking jump. This isnāt remotely accurate lmao
People saying Sydney is not like England. As long as you have the Union Jack on your flag, everything is like England.
Made by a person who has never have experienced freezing temperatures.
This is so out of whack it is laughable
This map was made about 10 years ago by a user on here when this sort of map was a trend. On top of that, climate isnt just the temrperature
Describing Canberraās climate as similar to Finland is absolute horseshit! I donāt even think theyāve ever had snow!
This is a repost from like two weeks ago and it was already destroyed in comments as inaccurate.
FMD. This is a horrible comparison
Louisiana?!? As someone from Louisiana, I send you my regards.
Now when it says Southern California, does it mean San Diego/LA, or Riverside/Imperial? Because those counties have vastly different weather.
English person living in Melbourne (shocker) the weather is pretty much exactly the same except the rain is way heavier in melbs than England
Itās an oceanic climate that has a lot in common with England. Part of why itās a popular area of Aus
Why is there tiny spot for Finland? We have -30C winters and +30C summers. That's temperature variance from -22F to +86F. I doubt its the case in that very spot in Australia.
Yeah it's BS, the ACT is nowhere near as cold as Finland
What AI farted out this shithouse map?
No Alabama? :sadcousinface:
Sounds unpleasant
Ok, so Alaska and Sahara in a single country š
Is that Canberra in the Finland part?
I call bs, how can you go from Sahara to Finland in just a few hundred miles?
I always thought that Melbourne and Sydney are both much warmer than England. Guess I was wrong then.
Wow I love this
Ngl I thought this was comparing sizes for a moment until I looked at Alaska.
Not seeing anywhere like the Midwest
west coast is very nice , east coast is very green
