On this web site we provide global data, world maps and computer animations of our updated Köppen-Geiger climate classification published by Kottek et al. (2006), Rubel and Kottek (2010) and Rubel et al. (2017).
The Köppen 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).
3 days ago · Koppen climate classification, widely used vegetation-based empirical climate-classification system developed by German botanist-climatologist Wladimir Koppen. He devised formulas that would define climatic boundaries corresponding to mapped vegetation zones (biomes).

Oct 30, 2018 · We present new global maps of the Köppen-Geiger climate classification at an unprecedented 1-km resolution for the present-day (1980–2016) and for projected future conditions (2071–2100) under...
Oct 19, 2023 · Koppen Classification Map. The Köppen-Geiger system uses colors and shades to classify the world into five climate zones based on criteria like temperature, which allows for different vegetation growth. Map by H.E. Beck, N.E. Zimmermann, T.R. McVicar, N. Vergopolan, A. Berg, and E.F. Wood.
We present new global maps of the Köppen-Geiger climate classification at a high 1‑km resolution for historical and future climate conditions (1901–2099). The historical maps (encompassing 1901–1930, 1931–1960, 1961–1990, and 1991–2020) are based on high-resolution, observation ...
