Discover and compare climates with temperature zones and humidity grades.

Our goal is to establish a new perspective within the field of climate classification, one which is both practical and scientific. With that in mind we will introduce a new system of climate zones called, specifically, temperature zones, or in describing precipitation, humidity grades. Simply browse the climate charts and compare your location with others so as to gain some familiarity with the material.

Throughout our site we will also show the need for a comprehensive standard of climate classification and show how this standard can be developed in a big way around the new zones. This will include contrasting our system with other systems in the various branches of climate classification, for example, the Köppen systems, the Holdridge Life Zones, the USDA Plant Cold Hardiness Zones, to name a few of the most common.

Ultimately, we intend to use the system of zones to help make the all-important subject of climate and the many things which relate to it—from vacationing to ecosystems—very accessible to everyone, beginning with the very young. It becomes a matter of both appreciating and protecting the natural environment—of which climate is a part—and this is something which is now more important than ever.

The climate zones will prove to be an invaluable tool towards that end. They are not only a great starting point in this huge subject, being simple, easy to use and remember, but also very adaptable to all kinds of specialized uses. In this way the climate zones are for everyone: a graphic reflection of life and living in terms of climate.
